This adorable raccoon is carved of serpentine and jet by Zuni carver, Barney Calavaza. Raccoon is standing upright on his back legs and has a jet inlaid (striped) tail, inlaid "mask" and nose. The eyes are inlaid of turquoise.

The body of the raccoon is finely etched to appear furry and the carving is unsigned. We purchased this carving from a trading post in Zuni in 1998 and it has been in our collection since that time.

You don't often see carvings by Barney much these days. I believe he is approaching 70 years of age. His brother, Arnie, was also a carver and passed away in 2013 at the age of 55.
