Ron Lunasee Hickoryite Mountain Lion Fetish Carving

This striking carved fetish from Zuni artist Ron Lunasee is a unique representation of an ancient art. Hand-carved from Hickoryite and accented with turquoise, this exquisite fetish celebrates Zuni culture and the Native American legacy of carving.

In Zuni culture, each of the six directions‚ north, south, east, west, above and below‚ are guarded by an animal, and the mountain lion is the guardian of the north.

Mountain lion measures 2-1/2" long and 7/8" wide, stands 1" tall. Comes with a certificate of authenticity.
