Description

Zuni Mountain Lion Fetish – Travertine, Inlaid Turquoise, Arrowhead

This finely crafted Zuni fetish depicts a mountain lion, hand-carved from layered travertine stone with natural earthy banding. The figure is accented with inlaid turquoise eyes and features etched paw and tail details. Atop its back, a traditional offering bundle includes a large turquoise arrowhead, red coral, additional turquoise nuggets, and white shell beads—tied with sinew in ceremonial style.

Unsigned but skillfully executed, this piece represents the mountain lion’s symbolic role as a powerful protector and pathfinder in Zuni tradition. A compelling choice for collectors of Native American fetishes or spiritual totems.
