Single textile bird figure from the estate of Bonnie Cashin.  Purchased by Cashin in 1956 during a visit to India on behalf of the Ford Foundation to advise the Indian government on textile exports. Each figure was traditionally made to ward off evil spirts and sewn from scrap textiles. Actual bird purchased is randomly selected. 

Cashin's fondness for birds as inspiration and symbol of liberation was evident throughout her career. For example, in her debut eponymous collections at mid-century she repeatedly cited birds as  inspiring her palette and a system of referring to garments by bird type: workaday dresses as "sparrows," evening play clothes as "night owls," and and entrance clothes as "peacocks."

Bonnie herself was described as a "little bird," constantly in motion with a purpose.

Durable

Even my monster hasn't been able to chew through these in a few months, and he has destroyed one of the black Kongs in the same time frame.

Tough to destroy for aggressive chewers
Color: Wrench, Size: 8 Inch
My doggie chewed out stairscase, the sofa, my shoes, and would destroy anything labeled pet “tough” toys. This stopped her from destroying!! Soo cool and cleans her teeth too. I got this one as gift for other retriever fams! Super cool. Doesn’t smell bad and its lightweight but durable like crazy.
