This Native American stone thunderbird/eagle effigy fetish is a beautiful piece of art from the late 19th century. It showcases the fine craftsmanship and attention to detail of the Cherokee tribe, who carefully created it in the United States.

The knapped stone technique used to create this effigy fetish is impressive and demonstrates the skill of the Cherokee artisans. It's a great opportunity for collectors to acquire a unique piece of history that tells a story of the Native American culture.

Pieces such as these were made as souvenirs or for trade starting in the late 1800’s and continue to this day. I have several of these pieces that were traded in North Carolina with a Cherokee tribal member in the late 1800’s for goods and have been box kept since the early 1900’s by 3 family generations.
