Up for auction is an old style, simply carved, stylized EAGLE fetish by Zuni Pueblo artisan Alvin Calavaza . This eagle measures almost 2&1/2 inches long from beak to tail and stands just about 1&3/4 inch tall. We're not absolutely sure, but we believe it is carved from travertine or serpentine. It is a beautiful greenish stone that has an almost orangish undertone. The stone has a wonderful soft feel to it. The eyes are inlaid turquoise and t are three inlaid turquoise dots around it's neck. The artist has signed this piece on the bottom. This is a Native American hand-carved item and comes from the Zuni Pueblo in northern New Mexico. In Zuni Indian tradition, each animal is believed to have innt powers or qualities that may aid the owner of a fetish carved in the image of that animal. The Eagle is the creator and teacher, representing loyalty, integrity and spiritual connection to the great divine.
