For your consideration this lot includes Navajo Diné Hand-Carved Alabaster Sculptures (2), circa 1990s. The first piece is a triangularly shaped depiction of "mother & child", with the mother the upper figure and the child inset on the right. Bear paws are carved at the bottom of each side. The Navajo Diné Mother & Child concept symbolizes the core of a matrilineal society, representing resilience, cultural continuity, and the deep bond between generations. The mother is viewed as a protector—a warrior for her family who manages household, livestock, and land. Children are "born to" the mother's clan, establishing her as the cornerstone of family identity, stability, and education. The second piece depicts a Navajo woman wearing an open crown Navajo hat, her hair tied back in the traditional Navajo Diné hairstyle, the Tsiiyéél, a distinctive hair bun worn by both men and women. It is far more than a practical way to manage long hair; it is a sacred symbol of identity, spiritual balance, and the accumulation of knowledge. The pieces are in very nice condition overall, chips and scratches noted. Respective measurements are 1.5" x 2.5" x 7.875"H and 3" x 3.5" x 8.25"H. Combined weight is 4lb, 6oz.
