HAND CARVED FETISH
Zuni fetishes are animal carvings that have been used by the A:Shiwi (The People) for over a thousand years. By honoring the animals and acknowledging their special "medicine" (their natural traits), we may summon our own similar attributes. Fetishes are sometimes used that way today. We can focus on the qualities we have that are like a certain animal. We can carry a fetish with us or keep it on a bedside table. Fetishes may be used to discover, enhance, or simply remember a connection with nature. Each of us has our own reason for taking care of a fetish. Be mindful and respect the spirit of the animal that your fetish represents.
The Zuni Universe is divided into six directions, East, West, North, South, underground, and sky. Each direction is protected by and associated with a specific animal, East-wolf, West-bear, North-mountain lion, South-badger, underground-mole, and sky-eagle. This directional carving is representative of that Universe.
The hand carved black jet mole carries five companions: Amber Mountain Lion, Turquoise Bear, Jasper Eagle, Pipestone Badger, and Alabaster Wolf, with pink shell arrowhead under eagle, small shell and turquoise, coral, and spiny oyster shell on sinew. This extraordinary fetish will be a treasured addition to your collection of fine Native American collectibles.
