Cosmic Coyote

This Cosmic Coyote was carved from dolomite by Jayne Quam who inlaid turquoise eyes. Jayne inlaid a crescent moon, a star, and other images into crushed turquoise.  The stones include turquoise, tiijilite spiny oyster, and shells.  It feels very good in the hand. Size: 2.25" H x 1.125" L x 1" W Coyotes figure prominently in Native American history.  In some tribes, they are powerful creation beings who teach us by doing things that turn out wrong, or even disastrous.  Oftentimes, they have a humorous quality.  In their natural environment and live in packs, hunt together, and protect one another.  Once one hears them yipping at night it is never forgotten. 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.
