When elk shed their antlers in the early Spring, the racks sometimes lay on the ground for years before being found by hunters and hikers. The Zuni artists purchase antlers at at trading posts or collect their own seasonal falls. This is from a very large piece of antler and Ruben has crafted this dead tree trunk filled with an owl colony! There are 3 expertly carved owls perched on top near the large nest that has three carved eggs laid in a clutch. There are three more owls peering from cavities in the side of the tree.
Paula says - "Incredible detail on this tiny rabbit! Questions or more details. See Similar Carvings. A fetish is a rock carving of an animal that captures the spirit and the essence of the animal, not necessarily its exact detailed conformation.
