Curious Snake

This Curious Snake has its head up to see what is going on in its world.  Carved from serpentine, it has inlaid turquoise eyes with amazingly detailed scales.  It is curled around what looks like a rock that is also detailed.  Michael inscribed his name on the bottom.  More about snakes below.

Size: 1.125" H x 2" L x 1.875" W

Snakes are strong, agile, and fast.  Sinuous in their movements, they are only seen when they want to be seen.   They remind us to be flexible no matter what is happening around us, to be aware, and ready to move when necessary. They shed their skins as they grow without sentiment for what they leave behind. 

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.
