LONE BUFFALO GOURD WALL SCULPTURE...............$65.00
This wall sculpture is created from a small gourd and
beaver chewed sticks. It is decorated with various beads

decorated with a hand knapped arrowhead replica made of chert.
The gnawed sticks have a tung oil finish to bring out
the pattern and protect the wood. The other beads and
materials include; creek rock, pipe stone, beads of glass,
wood, shell, turquoise, bone, garnet, horn, jasper, agate,
snowflake obsidian, sea erchin spine.
This piece measures 13 ½” x 9”. It has a wire to hang
on the wall or it can sit on a shelf or tabletop.
