Zuni Turkey still bank c. 1920s

This small ceramic Zuni turkey still bank is a fascinating example of Native American art and craftsmanship. The anonymous artist, active in the 1920s, skillfully rendered the turkey with an expressive face and intricate details. The turkey's form, painted in white with black and orange accents, is both playful and functional, serving as a reminder of the importance of resourcefulness and savings within the Zuni culture. The bank is now part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection.
