We usually don't go for the sharks and whales and fishies from Zuni. Yes, there are exceptions, but for the most part they just don't appeal to us as collectors. But sometimes a carving is so well done, the lines so fluid and graceful and the carver's intent so beautifully obvious that even we can't resist bringing home an aquatic treasure from Zuni.

This Belgian marble porpoise is carved by Gale Lucio. Yes - the buffalo guy! And he's just done an amazing job. From his tiny blow-hole to his beautifully fluted tail, he'll have you singing the "Flipper" theme song in no time!

Signed.
