SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — A new tail is going on the donkey.
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — A new tail is going on the donkey.
The Albuquerque Journal reported artist Taylor Mott attached the new tail Tuesday to the well-known metal donkey statue in Santa Fe just weeks after it was mysteriously stolen.
Police have no clues on any possible tail bandits and are offering a $1,000 reward.
The metal sculpture stands at one end of Santa Fe’s Burro Alley.
The city of Santa Fe paid about $4,000 to replace the tail, repair three hooves and remove graffiti.
The sculpture — by artist Charles Southard — is part of the city’s collection of about 75 pieces of public art and was commissioned in 1988.
It’s valued at $12,500.
