McKusick - Desert House Crafts Tile DHC - Horse - Pony Although unmarked this tile was most likely done by the McKusicks while at Desert House Crafts DHC in Tucson, Arizona. The subject of the horse done in this fashion is the only one I have ever seen. The tile is in excellent condition and does have the adhesive hanger on the back that some of their tiles had. I would NOT hang this unusual piece by the hanger though.

This piece is from my personal collection.
