Quetzalcoatl and Xolotl travelted to Mictlan to gather the bones of an extinct race. Using the remains Quetzalcoatl breathed new life into them and inhabited the world we know with new life. Xolotl is associated with illness and deformity. He is often depicted as a dog with open sores and ragged ears. To this day dogs are believed to be the link between our world and the next. Able to clearly navigate between worlds, often when someone dies a dog is sacrificed and laid to rest with it's owner to help guide them to to afterlife.
Xolotl's symbol is the ehecailacacozcatl, a sliced conch shell associated with wind. Xolotl and the wind jewel are etched onto a coyote jaw, and Quetzalcoatl is carved on the "blade" which is a carved horn. This is wrapped together using artificial sinew. Art only on one side, I'm not sure if I'll add more.... I wish I had some large feline claws or a tooth to add to this. I feel like Tezcatlipoca is being left out.

I was looking to buy possible a mountain lion fang or some claws, but they can be very expensive, I do have some obsibian, but I might just carve him on the back, and Cipactli on the jaw, balance it out...
But that might make me not want to sell it.... :p
I most likely will add to this... I just don't feel like it's done... but I'm happy with how it's turning out

I have a hard time pricing my work to be honest, I base the prices heavily on cost on supplies, labor is very light because I feel like I'll overprice if I actually sit down and figure out the time costs, Even if I add more art, I'll still keep the price the same.
I really do this more for the hobby than profit. I kinda consider it my stress relief, so yes, I put love into it, but more than just that :>

Oh yeah pricings always a tought point, the few times ive been involved in creative projects and been paid for it i generally have a low price because its more for a love of things than the money and in the end far better to know people are out there enjoying my work than holding out for some huge dump of cash.
