This lot shows a Deer Skull Covered in agate stones and is a Native American style work of art. The story goes that long ago a group of men captured a pure young maiden. They beat and raped her and left her for dead. A young doe came and laid beside her so that the young girl would not go to mother earth alone. Later a tribe was having a powwow and a beautiful girl appeared in the distance. Her song lured a young man away. Once he reached to kiss her he found himself being attacked by a force stronger than he. As he lay dying he sees a doe standing on his chest. This doe was half woman and half deer. This story was told to teach young men to respect women. This gem covered skull is a reminder of the Deer Woman. The skull is covered in agate stones that show wonderful color and cover the entire top ofthe skull. Also their isa hanging patch with beads, pheasant feathers and a silver concho. This is a very well made sculpture by Carol Chambers and signed on the Bottom.
