Little Zuni fetish - Unique piece.
 

Mole hand-carved in pipestone with eyes in Sleeping Beauty turquoise (Arizona).

The mole is symbol of the underground and guardian of the gardens. It is an intermediary between humans and belowground powers. The mole symbolizes fecondity and sensuality.

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.
