Zuni Carved Mountain Lion Fetish by Herbert Halate

Wonderful mountain lion carved out of jet by Zuni artist Herbert Halate. This classic Halate piece is complete with a turquoise offering bundle. Mountain lion fetishes are carried by travelers to protect them on their journey and also by hunters to help ensure a successful hunt. Guardian of the North...the mountain lion symbolizes personal power, resourcefulness, leadership, intuition and loyalty. The offering bundle is 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.
