Zuni Carved Horse Fetish by Douglas Martza

Wonderful horse carved from striped onyx and accented with turrquoise eyes and an offering bundle by Zuni artist Douglas Martza. These bundles 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. Horses enabled the People to travel further, faster and with less loss of energy so that hunting was more efficient and successful.
