Up for sale is a beautiful piece of late 20th-century Native American folk art handcrafted by known Indigenous artisan Lee Crowley. This unique wall hanging features a solid wood base meticulously hand-carved into the shape of a sacred feather, complete with a detailed quill split.

The back features a clear, authentic hand-inscribed wood-burner signature by the artist reading: "Lee Crowley - MOHAWK / OTTAWA," proudly reflecting the artist’s dual tribal lineage.
