A magnificent signed gemstone Rain Cloud Kachina by Pedro Jimenez III, known as “Blue Elk,” master of gemstone kachina sculptures. Standing 18 inches tall, this figure exemplifies Jimenez’s artistry and innovation in transforming traditional kachina imagery into fine gemstone inlay sculpture.
The body and headdress are meticulously crafted from an array of precious and semi-precious stones, including red jasper, red, orange and purple spiny oyster, black onyx, chrysocolla, white, gold and black mother of pearl, malachite, aragonite, sodalite, and accented with sterling silver.
The result is a vibrant and powerful depiction of the Rain Cloud spirit, shimmering with color and symbolic resonance.
Jimenez, recognized as the foremost artist working in this medium, has elevated kachina carving into a field of contemporary collectible art. This piece is in excellent condition and represents a rare opportunity to acquire a highly collectible and museum-worthy work from the master of gemstone kachinas.
