La-ha-leon

The vivid blue hue of the turquoise symbolizes protection and strength, while the striking black eyes add an element of intensity and focus. The choice to depict the eagle in the act of grasping onto a turtle is both intriguing and enigmatic - perhaps suggesting a struggle between two opposing forces or an eternal battle between predator and prey. The intricate details carved into the turquoise only enhance the dramatic nature of this piece, drawing in viewers with its complexity and symbolism. This carving serves as a reminder of the beauty and fierceness of nature, capturing a moment frozen in time that sparks curiosity and contemplation.

Eagle (K'yak'yali): meaning is that of extraordinary vision, of seeing the whole picture. Even though Eagle can see the smallest of details from a great distance, it maintains a comprehensive view. Eagle helps us to remember that one’s journey is spiritual as well as physical.
