This is an Estate Fresh old Native American Fetish from a long time collection of Native American Art and Artifacts.  This particular piece is a fantastic FINE 2.75" NAVAJO ZUNI INDIAN CARVED MOTTLED STONE BADGER FETISH TURQUOISE EYES  This is a great looking stone that is transformed into a Carved Badger with Turquoise Eyes. This piece is done by an unknown carver as it is not signed. This is not a new piece as the family said their folks stopped buying some time ago.   Carved Fetish are believed to be so powerful and beneficial to your well-being that a Directional Fetish Carving set carved by Navajo Fetish carver Roy Davis and his brothers Herbert and Jeff, was sent into space aboard the space shuttle "Endeavor" in 1994.  Zuni Fetishes were first used as early as 650 A.D. The fetishes that have been in Zuni tribal possession or in individual possession for centuries are considered to be the most holy and powerful fetishes as well as the more valuable fetishes. Although many southwest tribes carve fetishes, the Zuni Fetish carvers are generally acknowledged as doing the finest work among all of the tribes.
