Large Genuine Turquoise Covered Buffalo Skull

This is an impressive work of art. A powerful image full of natural character. This would look great hanging on the wall of your home, store, or office. This is a genuine Buffalo skull. It has been covered in beautiful tiles of genuine Turquoise. This Turquoise Buffalo Skull is a lot like the one made by Dee Morris that was featured on the cover of Arizona Highways magazine back in the seventies. That one was priced at $25,000! The mosaic of Turquoise stones is full of natural sky blue, green, and earth tone shades. This Turquoise Buffalo Skull is 22-3/4" long and 25-1/2 wide from tip to tip on the horns.

There are many legends about Turquoise; The Pima consider it to bring good fortune and strength and believe that it helps overcome illness. The Zuni believe that blue turquoise was male and of the sky and green turquoise was female and of the earth. Pueblo Indians thought that its color was stolen from the sky. In Hopi legend the lizard who travels between the above and the below, excretes turquoise and that the stone can hold back floods. The Apache felt that turquoise on a gun or bow made it shoot straight. The Navajo consider it as good fortune to wear and believe it could appease the Wind Spirit.

No animal has ever given so much to a people as the largest and most spectacular creature of North America, the great American bison. The Plains Indians depended upon the buffalo for food, shelter, and clothing. The large nomadic herds were a huge part of their life, and the people appealed directly to the Buffalo in prayer. The medicine men called upon the powers of the "spirit buffalo" to help them in rituals. It is told that the spirit of the buffalo will return to reunite the people, thereby mending the Sacred Hoop, which has no ending and no beginning. This will be a time for the prophecies to come together, for people of all colors to understand about Mother Earth, and to have respect for one another and their nations. This will be a time for healing.
