The Sioux umbilical turtle fetish is a sacred object representing protection and connection to the earth. Adorned with vibrant red (white hearts), white, blue, and green beads, it embodies the colors of the natural world and the spiritual realm. Ten (10) feathered tinklers hang from its base. This intricately crafted fetish serves as a symbol of reverence and harmony within Sioux culture.
