This c. 1990s Navajo folk art “mud toy” is by Elsie Benally, well known for these kinds of charming pieces. This Santa Claus is riding a chicken as he holds a bright candy cane—so fun! It measures about 4.5” tall. In very good vintage condition. Please take a close look at the photos.
Please note that I have a few other Navajo mud toy Santas-on-chickens, if you’re interested. The price for each is firm but if you want all three, I’m happy to ship them together & refund the difference.
Thanks for looking!
***PLEASE NOTE that I’m currently living in a somewhat remote rural area where the post office burned to the ground—along with the rest of the town—so I can’t ship as quickly. I feel terrible about this but unfortunately it’s the reality. I’ll likely only be able to ship once a week or so. I’m so sorry! If you need something more quickly, please let me know right away & I’ll do my best to accommodate you, although I can’t guarantee it’ll be possible. Thanks so much for your understanding & patience.
**PLEASE NOTE: Because of some unfortunate experiences recently, I now ship most packages with “signature confirmation.” I don’t want to create a hassle for anyone but I do want to make sure you get your package safely. Again, thanks so much for understanding.
