Zuni fetish - One of a Kind piece
 

Puma (mountain lion) carved in mother-of-pearl, its eyes inlaid with turquoise Sleeping beauty (Arizona) .

This fetish features a turquoise arrow running from its mouth to its heart. This arrow represents the animal's breath of life, enabling it to master and dominate its prey.
 

The mountain lion is a leading and lonely animal that is symbol of power and rapidity.
 

Dimensions (H x L x l) in mm: 26mm x 56mm x 7mm

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 Zuni handmade in the USA.
