Blanketed Set of Six Directions by Brian Yatsattie

A remarkable set of six directions, carved by Brian from antler. Brian is the only carver we've seen to carve his set wrapped in blankets, and his explanation was that he wanted them to be "warm." To Keshi, they appear as wise elder animals, and deserve a place of honor! Sizes range from 4" to 5 1/8". Included are Eagle of the sky, Mole of the ground, Badger of the south, Mountain lion of the north, Wolf (or Suski) of the east, and Bear of the west. - $900.00
