À propos de la sculpture

This carving seems to portray a Hopi tale about Coyote and Turtle. Turtle foolishly leaves the river, but tricks Coyote into helping him get back home. While the carver of this sculpture is unknown, the imagery resembles illustrations done by Fred Kabotie (1900--86), a Hopi from the second Mesa, for Taytay's Tales, published in 1922.
