Hopi Chicken as a Coin Bank

Hopi

1930 - 1940 | Clay | Item 2503

This sweet Hopi chicken is a coin bank as evident by the open slit on its back. The design on the back is a classic ensemble of feathers and spirals. Sorry, there’s no money in it! There is no signature, but evidence of an old lable.
