Zuni fetish. Unique piece.

Bear sculpted in dolomite with Sleeping Beauty turquoise eyes. We can see an arrow on the side of this fetish. This arrow represents the line of life: The animal's breath, allowing it to dominate and master its predators.
 

In Native culture, the bear is symbol of power, strenght, health and knowledge.
 

Dimensions in (H x L x l in mm) : 63mm x 6mm x 16mm

In a time when the Zuni tribe lived from agriculture and hunting, the hunters couldn't do without these amulets and would never forget to bring them during their expeditions. The fetishes assure benevolence of the soul.

Each animal represents its spirit, its own inner force and protects its owner.

Proudly handmade in USA.
