Murano Glass Bushytail

This Murano glass bushytail carving was made by Leland Boone.  It has inlaid turquoise eyes in a sweet face.  It has a very fat tail which makes us wonder if it is a fox, but you get to decide!

Lena Boone is Leland's mother.  She saw Murano glass vases in a store quite a number of years ago and was inspired to try to use one as carving material.  It turned out to be a good move for the whole family.

Size: 1.325" H x 1.125" L x 1.125" W

Wolves, coyotes and foxes all look the same in the distance.  In Zuni there is a word that translates into "bushytail" in English.  You get to determine what this carving looks like to you!

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.
