Native American Fetishes are small carvings made from various materials such as bone, shells, and gemstones. These carvings traditionally serve a ceremonial purpose for their creators and depict animals and icons integral to their culture. Each animal has great significance and meaning, many with protective abilities or healing powers. Fetish carvings are believed to have magical powers and protect or enhance the owner or craftsman.
Collectors worldwide collect fetishes as a form of contemporary Native American art with an appreciation for the craftsmanship and meaning behind each fetish. The meaning of each is provided within the product. However, over time many carvers started to create some non-traditional animals due to requests, region, and popularity. These non-traditional fetishes may not have the significance or abilities of other more traditional fetish carvings.
This magnificent Authentic Laate Zuni Badger Fetish with Sunface has been hand–carved from obsidian by renowned Zuni artist Danette Laate. It features inlaid turquoise eyes that contrast beautifully with the obsidian material, as well as a unique turquoise and Native American Sunface design. The detailed craftsmanship is sure to wow collectors and art enthusiasts alike, making this piece a wonderful addition to any home decor. With its power, strength, and symbolism, this stunning badger fetish is sure to be cherished for generations to come.
