May-lee

This bat is finely carved from red cedar wood, showcasing the warm reddish tones and natural grain of the material. The form is thoughtfully shaped, with outstretched wings that capture the bat in quiet motion. Smooth carving details highlight the texture of the wood while maintaining a balanced, flowing silhouette. Polished to enhance the cedar’s natural character, this piece reflects skilled craftsmanship and a strong connection to the natural world.

Bat (ehshots'i): The only mammal that flies, glides through the blackness, listening with the keen perception of sonar to the soft sounds of the night. While feeding on insects and fruit, bats fertilize the plant kingdom. Bat medicine pollinates the seeds of our dreams. Bat (Ehshots'i) enters and leaves the cave, suggesting symbolic or shamanic death and initiation. Times of transition can bring fear, but remembering that bat sleeps hanging upside down gives us new perspective. When we emerge reborn from the cave, we can soar through the darkness, hearing hidden messages from Spirit.
