Zuni Stone Fetishes – Bear & Badger, Turquoise Eyes, As-Is, 90g
This pair of traditional Zuni stone fetishes includes a bear and a badger, each hand-carved and featuring inlaid turquoise eyes. The bear is rendered in green serpentine and carries a stone arrowhead and turquoise nugget offering bundle, symbolizing strength and healing. The lighter stone carving, likely representing a badger, features a carved pink stone offering on its back and reflects attributes of determination and protection. Both fetishes are unsigned but crafted in a style consistent with Zuni traditions, with sinew-wrapped bundles enhancing their spiritual symbolism. These carvings make a meaningful addition to any Native American art or Southwest collection.
