Chrysocolla Wolf by Bernard Laiwakete

A lean lime green, copper blue veined and gray spotted chrysocolla wolf carved by Bernard Laiwakete. The wolf has turquoise inlaid eyes and a heart line inlaid to the wolf's left side. The salient form is the tail bringing up the rear. For the Zuni, the wolf represents loyalty, family devotion, and the strength of the community. Because wolves mate for life and hunt together in packs, the Zuni see them as ultimate symbols of lifelong partnership, cooperation, and group survival.
