This mole carved from sodalite, a deep blue stone with natural streaks of white and gray that create a sense of depth and texture across the figure. The rich, cool tones of the sodalite give the mole a distinctive, polished elegance while highlighting its rounded, compact form.

Its turquoise eyes provide a vivid contrast against the dark blue stone, bringing life and spirit to the carving. The bright turquoise symbolizes protection and vitality, adding a vibrant focal point to the piece.

Smoothly polished and carefully detailed, the mole captures both the animal’s grounded nature and quiet strength. In Zuni tradition, the mole is often associated with awareness, adaptability, and connection to the earth, making this carving both a visually captivating and culturally meaningful object.

A sodalite mole with turquoise eyes is a rare and beautiful combination of natural beauty, craftsmanship, and symbolism.

Mole (K'yaluts'i): Mole’s behavior suggests that we trust what we feel, not what we see as the mole lives this way all the time. For the Zuni people, Mole (K'yaluts'i) is the guardian of Mother Earth.
