Sunbird

A sunbird carved of tan Zuni stone radiates warmth and elegance. The soft, earthy tones of the stone give the bird a natural and grounded presence, reminiscent of the desert landscape. Its beak and tail, finely detailed in pennshell, shimmer with deep iridescent browns, adding a beautiful contrast to the lighter body. Each wing is inlaid with turquoise, a vibrant pop of color symbolizing sky, life, and renewal. The turquoise eyes bring a lively, spirited energy to the bird’s gentle expression, capturing the essence of movement and light. This carving beautifully blends natural materials and symbolism — the sunbird, a messenger of vitality and joy, crafted with traditional Zuni artistry and a harmonious balance of earth and sky tones.
