Zuni pottery owl on wood base. Written on tag on bottom reads "I'm full blooded ZUNI. Used in every Zuni household god of good fortune (like Minerva). I am used at tribal dances with a worm inside (dead & dry). No all American household should be without me - particularly if its head collects owl! From Ruth Mendenhall." Cracked and glued. Remains a neat piece.
