    Description

    The Shalako, who are believed to have first arrived at Zuni around 1840 are the God’s messengers and run back and forth all year long carrying messages, as well as bringing moisture and rain when needed. The Shalako Ceremony is performed in late November or early December and takes place after the crops are in.
    I am not knowledgeable about these; belonged to my sister.  Please look at photos and ask questions.  Photos are part of description. about 15 1/2 inches tall. The glue around the top surface of base looks like it may have had more "fur" at one time; otherwise condition looks excellent.
    There is long hair at back. 5 sets of carved feathers on front.
