Zuni Carved Mountain Lion Fetish by Clive Hustito

This unique mountain lion with turquoise eyes and offering bundle was carved from green shell by Zuni artist Clive Hustito. 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. 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.
