Zuni Carved Badger Fetish

Description

Zuni Carved Badger Fetish by Benina Kallestewa

This badger was carved from Mexican onyx complete with an offering bundle and blue opal eyes by Zuni artist Benina Kallestewa. 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. Badger represents passion and persistence, particularly in tight situations. Badger is the guardian animal of the South.
