I took a few more photos when I was at the Heard Museum Gift Shop last weekend so I thought I'd share these beauties too. These two "Kachina-style" sculptures are actually woven like basket weaving. I had never seen anything like them. Unfortunately, I didn't catch the artists name but I certainly admired the work.
This is a wood carving by Stetson Honytumtewa, from the Hopi tribe. When I first glanced at this piece, I saw the animal climbing onto the rock and I thought it was made of real fur. It's not, it's carved wood.
This is a doll made by Rhonda Holy Bear. It's called Ghost Dancer Doll.
This last piece is a bronze statue created by Larry Yazzie. It's such a beautiful piece.
I love browsing around the gift shop and this last weekend I was there earlier in the morning and had the place all to myself.
