Zuni Pueblo Indian Fetish Carving Six Animal Directional Set by Jayne Quam Our fetishes are handmade in New Mexico by Native American artists. This incredible six animal directional set fetish was carved from various stones by Zuni carver Jayne Quam . Each animal in a directional set is a protective animal representing a different direction. Badger (South) - It is believed that the badger helps medicine men and shamans dig the roots and herbs needed for healing. Mountian Lion (North) - Carried by travelers to protect them on their journey and by hunters to help ensure a successful hunt. Wolf (East) - Strong hunting powers, also represents loyalty and family values. Bear (West) Highly prized for its curative and healing abilities. Eagle (Sky) An eagle fetish may be called upon to carry a shaman in flight when his spirit leaves his body to search for the cause of a patinet's illness. Mole (Underground) - Helps protect growing crops by hunting mice and other small animals that damage crops. (The mole is carved on the underside of this stone.) This very detailed directional fetish has the mole on the bottom and the other animals attached as a bundle. Each individual animal has an arrowhead bundle. This beautiful directional set measures 2.7" long, 1.3" tall and 2.2" wide . The fetish is signed by the artist on the bottom. Stunning fetish! read more
