Together they commune, sing, and bestow honor upon one another. So brief are moments such as these, when balance is achieved." - Provenance: Hueys Fine Art Santa Fe, New Mexico (accompanied by a copy of the receipt; Letter of Authenticity; letter from Ed Natiya and inscribed and signed study sketch); Private Collection, Asheville, North Carolina good condition; pedestal with abrasions
