Zuni Carved Mountain Lion Fetish

Description

Zuni Carved Mountain Lion Fetish by Jeff Shetima

Substantial and beautiful mountain lion carved from alabaster with his signature inlay on the shell arrowhead tied to his back by Zuni artist Jeff Shetima. The arrowhead is an offering. These bundled items are meant as a gift offering to the animal spirit. The bundles provide the animal spirit with energy, enhancing its powers and allowing its prayers to be heard more easily. This spectacular carving shows a powerful mountain lion ready to pounce. The stone is creamy yellow, and the face is perfect, accented with shell and black jet eyes. Guardian of the North...the mountain lion symbolizes personal power, resourcefulness, leadership, intuition and loyalty. Mountain lion fetishes are carried by travelers to protect them on their journey and also by hunters to help ensure a successful hunt.
