Measures approx. 8-1/2" tall by 5-3/8" by 5-3/4"

I've had this for quite a while. It sits in my bathroom next to other collectibles. I see it so often I forgot that it was Zuni. We recently had picked up some slides that had Zuni art and pictures on them. I was trying to remember where I had seen other Zuni stuff then I remembered ..duh!
