S . Nelson is a known Navajo carver active in the late 20th century (notably the 1990s). Collectors frequently mention his work alongside other Navajo makers like M. Yazzie or M. Nelson (possibly related). 
The Navajo Gray Wolf Kachina Doll is a contemporary Native American carved wooden figure representing the Wolf spirit in Navajo (Diné) artistic traditions. Kachina dolls, while most famously associated with Hopi Pueblo ceremonies, are also carved and sold by Navajo artists as sculptures, often depicting various spirit beings, dancers, or animal guides.
