Cha-vez

The natural bands and swirls of color give the piece a mystical, almost otherworldly appearance—each shade blending seamlessly into the next, creating a sense of depth and wild energy. The carving captures the wolf’s proud, alert stance with refined precision. Its body is lean and powerful, with defined haunches and a slightly raised head, as if caught mid-howl or watching the horizon. The form conveys strength, intuition, and independence—hallmarks of the wolf spirit. Set into the wolf’s face are two brilliant inlaid turquoise eyes, their vivid glow bringing the carving to life. The eyes offer an intense, soulful gaze—piercing and wise—standing in sharp yet harmonious contrast to the colorful complexity of the sulfite stone. This wolf is more than a work of art; it’s a symbol of loyalty, guardianship, and connection to the wild. With its kaleidoscopic body and luminous turquoise eyes, it feels like a guardian spirit captured in stone—rooted in the earth, yet echoing something far older and deeper.

Wolf (Yuna:wikko’o): medicine has to do with deciphering information and finding new pathways for the benefit of the clan. Being part of a clan and exhibiting loyalty to it is some of the wisdom Wolf brings. And yet, even though Wolf is very loyal, it retains its individuality within the clan.
