Crouching Bushytail

This little long and low bushytail makes us smile!  Delvin Leekya carved it from travertine, also called Zuni rock.  He inlaid bright blue turquoise eyes, and carved a green snail shell arrowhead with a bit of pink mussel shell for the bundle.  The mouth is slightly open as if it is getting ready to respond to you!  Delvin's carvings always make us smile!

Size: 1.5" H x 3.5" L x 1.375" W

Wolves, coyotes, and foxes all look the same in the distance.  In Zuni there is a word that translates into "bushytail" in English.  You get to determine what this carving looks like to you!

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.
