Zuni Badger Fetish Serpentine Hand Carved

Each type of Fetish holds special significance. While each individual fetish has its own unique spirit, certain animal forms have traditionally held specific meanings. The animals may be associated with a trait, or one of the Zuni’s six sacred directions - East, South, West, North, Above and Below. The badger is a representation of the South. This specific carving has an arrowhead on his back which is a spirit offering. Such a remarkable piece, perfect for decoration for your house!
