Dolphin

Kenny Chavez carved this joyful dolphin from banded Mexican onyx and inlaid sterling silver eyes.  It is easy to imagine it jumping into the air.

Dolphins are some of our most joyous non-human relatives.  They are communal beings that communicate with one another and seem to do their best to communicate with humans too.  They sometimes work together to hunt and are very cooperative.  If you ever need a bit of joy, just watch a video of dolphins in the wild!

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.
