Kewa Pueblo Award Winners- FARRELL / REYES PACHECO - Mosaic Inlay Barrel Tops- Hand Cut / Sculpted Oak Wood Hair Stick -2 Choices!
SALE FOR 1 HAIR STICK- CHOOSE FROM A ORANGE SPINY OYSTER AT BOTTOM OF BARREL OR GREEN TURQUOISE! (green is sold)
These hair sticks have everything the Pacheco's are most known for!
For 1: where literally everything is done BY hand & for 2: their beyond belief precision & lastly, their incredible mosaic work !!
These are made where Farrell started by taking a Oak wood & literally cut & sculpted the stick by hand! What impresses me with Farrell's work is for the fact that if I run my millimeter gauge from the top to bottom,the roundness is so precise you would think that they were cut in a commercial plant somewhere where gauges are used to create an even roundness!! They use NO calipers,but rather everything is cut 'by eye & feel".His eye for detail & precision is something you just don't find that often..
The tops are what they call "Barrels" & are mosaic inlaid in the barrels entirety. Both are mosaiced with little chips of green Sonoran turquoise & both have a well beveled spiny oyster rounded top..The only difference between the 2 is that down at the base where the mosaic ends & the wood starts, one has a thin layer of Spiny Oyster & one has thin layer of turquoise(See photos 2,3,4)
What a great addition these would be & are Pueblo 'Pieces of Art" for the hair!
**If you zoom in on the last 2 photos, you'll see one more that's in stock that will soon be listed!**
