Rare Early Signed Gregory Lomayesva Hopi Folk Art, Hand-Carved Mask Native American. This carved wood piece is a huge 21″ wide x 14″ tall at the top of the feather. Greg Lomasyeva was Born in 1971 and has drawn his art from an assimilation of many aspects of life and fantasy combined. The Kachina styled figures are representative of his Hopi roots but NOT representative of actual Kachina figures. The feathers used are molted parrot feathers that add rich coloration to each work. This wonderful collectors piece is hand painted, decorated with very colorful feathers, and would make an amazing addition to any Native American, Hopi, or Southwest collection. This would be a statement piece in a home or office setting. Please visit our other listings for numerous antiques and vintage items being added daily.

IMPORTANT: This is authentic Native American Indian handmade, on the Indian reservation, in New Mexico U. Please note: I have nothing against the foreign imports from the Philippines, China or Mexico (they are inexpensive and serve a purpose as cheap “alternatives” but if you want an authentic Native American Indian handicraft they are considerably more expensive than their “foreign counterparts”). OOPS: I just noticed the horrendous lighting in photo #1 (my MAIN photo). The “glare” of the lighting “washed out” the HAND-ETCHING details on the bear fetishes. Please refer to PHOTO #4 to see all of the painstaking HAND-ETCHING. ZUNI Native American Indian DILBERT GASPER handcrafted in NEW MEXICO, U. Please see my photo for the artist’s hallmark. Please note: This is a pre-owned item and I do not know if DILBERT GASPER is still living. Very charming HAND-CARVED, HANDMADE BEARS with cute little KACHINA FACES sitting on them. The little kachina faces feature TURQUOISE, MOTHER-OF-PEARL SEASHELL, RED CORAL and BLACK ONYX. Please study all of my photos. All fetishes meticulously painstakingly HAND-CARVED from what appears to be black marble or black onyx stone. Please note there is also HAND-ETCHING. Very-labor intensive for the artist. PLEASE NOTE: I have showed you BOTH sides of all of the fetishes. Please see ALL photos. Fetishes are strung with genuine natural TURQUOISE “nuggets”. There are sterling silver cones and clasp. Circa: Unknown but in very nice PRE-OWNED condition. I have carefully studied the fetishes (and entire necklace and earrings) and I can find no defects or damage. Necklace: 25 long – suitable for most male and female necklines. Weight: Approximately: 130 grams. Bottom BEAR fetish: 2″ x 1 1/8″ Side Bears: 1 1/2″ x 1″ All measurements approximate and to the best of my ability (I’m elderly with poor vision). Thank you very much for your understanding.
