The feathers look almost real and the stump the hawk is sitting on is also finely detailed. More about hawks below.

Hawks are messengers who take our prayers to the Creator. For some Indigenous people, hawks are the smaller siblings of eagles. Our family feels it is a blessing whenever we see a hawk and will count how many, if any, we see on long trips.
Traditionally, Zuni carvings are symbolically fed cornmeal. Each Zuni fetish comes in a box with a descriptive card and a tiny bit of corn meal to tide them over until they reach you.
