[QUOTE="mirana, post: 11148402, member: 79705"]I picked these up recently and did a little research but I thought I'd run these by the experts here so I don't miss/mis-ID anything. Other sellers have a handful of IDs but Ye'Kuana comes up the most. The mark on the back is "90". Approximately 14" diameter and shallow with a string loop for wall hanging. [ATTACH=full]537494[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]537495[/ATTACH] This carving seems to be Native American alabaster. I can't find a (recognizable) signature. Navajo seems the most cited, but also Zuni. 5.5" x 3.25" high. [ATTACH=full]537496[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]537497[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]537498[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]537499[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]537500[/ATTACH] The square on the bottom is where some scotch tape was affixed. Thanks for any help you can give a gal who doesn't normally collect/trade in this type of art. :D[/QUOTE]
