Zuni Carved Horse Fetish

Description

Zuni Carved Horse Fetish by Daryl Shack Sr.

Wonderful horse carved from a found rock at Zuni and accented with turquoise eyes and an offering bundle by Zuni artist Daryl Shack Sr. 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. This is almost a concretion, but it has a bit more work, not a super-refined piece. Horses enabled the People to travel further, faster and with less loss of energy so that hunting was more efficient and successful.
