Description

Marble Bird Sculpture Attributed to Arden Hosetosavit 
This is a beautifully carved marble bird sculpture, attributed to Arden Hosetosavit (1945–2002), a renowned Mescalero Apache and Comanche artist. Crafted from a single piece of marble, the piece features a striking natural veined pattern and smooth contours, embodying Hosetosavit's signature minimalist yet symbolic style. The bird form is abstract yet recognizable, with subtle carved lines suggesting wings and a pointed beak, sitting atop a polished wooden base for an elegant display.

While unsigned, the workmanship and design are consistent with Hosetosavit’s celebrated body of work, which often featured animals and wildlife as a tribute to his heritage. The sculpture’s organic lines and earthy materials make it an ideal piece for collectors of Native American art or mid-century modern decor.
