FE274 Harpo squirrels fetish

Zuni fetish - One of a Kind piece

Squirrels carved from marble and turquoise with eyes made of sterling silver.

This group of friends is surrounded by a dried tendon on which small nuggets of turquoise, coral, and shell beads are strung to bring them strength and protection.

Symbol of speed, foresight, adaptability, and confidence.

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.

(1 inch x 1.1/4 inch x 2 inches)
