This extraordinary bird by Veronica is featured in this summer's 2011 National Museum of The American Indian Magazine advertisement for Keshi.
At about 3 7/8" long, 2" tall and 1 1/2" wide at base, this melodic bird is carved of Kingman turquoise resting in crushed red coral. Along side this bird is a piece of scrumptious branch red coral on a base of Sleeping Beauty turquoise.
With lapis eyes, this feathered friend has wings that are inlaid with hand cut sections of lapis, red coral, angel skin coral and pen shell. Each wing is uniquely different and soft incising marks add more feather detail.
No one carves like Veronica, daughter of famed carver of old, Leo Poblano. Her sterling silver signature label is attached under the base. - $3400.00
