Jet Bird, Crow by Michael Coble - Zuni Fetish

A jet crow with big turquoise inlaid eyes carved by Michael Coble perched on a rock. Michael has incised the feathers on the wings and tail in pleasing ways that never seem repetitive - only descriptive. The Zuni believe the crow is the keeper of sacred law. In the Zuni creation myth - when the Zunis arrived to the Middle World(what we call earth), they were given a choice between two eggs. Some of the Zuni tribe chose the blue egg and consequently journeyed to their current homeland; destined to have a life full of toil with the crow as their guide - known as the Winter people.
