Some
of the bark has been left
on this Coast Redwood unsplit branch flute and a few of
the bark
crevices have been inlaid
with crushed turquoise. Elk lacing with turquoise nuggets and red horn-bone beads holds the bird to the nest. The flute measures 21 1/4" in length and the branch was gathered from a grove of Coast Redwood trees that grow in Descanso Gardens in La Canada Flintridge, California |
