Zuni animal carvings have been used by the
A:Shiwi (The People) for over a thousand years. By respecting the animals and acknowledging their special medicine or natural traits, we may summon our own similar attributes. Nelson Yatsattie's endearing bushytail (
Fox,
Wolf or
Coyote) can speak of the discernment, flexibility and wisdom that is in us. Carved from Hestermanite which is in the marble family and inlaid with bright turquoise eyes, dimensions of this wild canine friend are about 5 1/2" long, 1" wide and 1" tall. Paws are sgraffito-etched.
