Zuni Carved Buffalo Fetish

Description

Zuni Carved Buffalo Fetish by Clive Hustito

Beautiful buffalo carved from Picasso marble with turquoise eyes by Zuni artist Clive Hustito. The buffalo represents good medicine, the fulfillment of powers and steadfast endurance. The buffalo was the mainstay of the Plains Indians and was used for food as well as shelter, clothing and weapons. I love the banding around his belly and the sharp black vetical lines on his face and front legs.
