Description
This is a beautifully Zuni hand crafted Squirrel Fetish by Shiffered. This work of art is hand carved from solid Grey Alabaster. The Fetish measures approximately 1 7/8 inch tall. This piece is signed by the Zuni Artist. Total weight of this piece is 43.0 grams.
Zuni fetishes are hand-carved objects, which represent the spirits of animals or the forces of nature. The earliest fetishes are called Ahlashiwe or stone ancients by the Zunis. They were naturally formed stones that seemed to resemble people or animals, sometimes made more realistic with the features accentuated by a carver. Zunis believe that animals, as well as inanimate objects and the forces of nature, have a spirit force. It is believed that the carved animal fetishes host that spiritual force and, if treated properly, will help their owners to overcome the problems facing them.
The Squirrel represents the ability to plan ahead and is very industrious. The Squirrel represents natural intelligence and the protector of reserves.
