Zuni artist Burt Awelagte was taught to carve by mentor Joseph Quam. Burt says he carefully listens to the stone and it tells him what it wants to be. A handsome portion of rhyolite is now a howling bushytail (Wolf, Fox or Coyote) that’s about 3 3/4″ long, 1 1/4″ wide and 1 5/8″ tall. Eyes are from turquoise inlays and an offering bundle contains golden amber and green turquoise beads.
