The stone’s patterning weaves across its body in striking contrasts—deep black, crisp white, and soft grey—creating a marbled texture that feels both bold and natural. Set into its face are bright turquoise eyes, their vivid blue hue bringing a spark of life and spirit to the carving. Resting across its back is a finely shaped arrowhead of turquoise and coral, the brilliant blue and rich red tones standing out vividly against the monochrome stone. The combination of the marble’s dramatic veining, the lively turquoise eyes, and the colorful symbolic arrowhead gives the piece a sense of strength, tradition, and timeless beauty.
