From a Private Colorado Collection
Zuni fetish carver Esteban Najera doesn't make the ordinary. This young and talented artist loves to carve the unusual out of deer antler.
Esteban Najeera displayes expert knowledge of anatomy when his skeletal carvings emerge from his carving table. Esteban's antler birds, for example, are so wonderfully carved and delicate that it would seem that the Zuni spirits are guiding him. Esteban started carving around 1990. Esteban's brother is Zuni carver Ruben Najera.
