Description

C458 Talking God

Talking God by Navajo carver Jeremy Tso. The 14.5” x 6”  x 6” wood carving is on a 2 3/4” x 9” base.

Talking God is the chief character in Navajo mythology. In the rites in which impersonated deities tend to a suffering patient this character leads, carrying a four-piece folding wand, balíl, and uttering a unique cry.

The Talking God is a benevolent, protective deity to the Navajo. Born of dawn man and woman, Talking God communicates with the Navajo in an attempt to protect and educate. He is considered the grandfather of the gods. This impressive figure has in his care many of the chant ways, dawn and the eastern universe, rare game and corn to name just a few.
