Orange Calcite Zuni Buffalo

The Buffalo represents prophecy and fulfillment of powers. It also represents a steadfast endurance to rise above one's weaknesses. Zuni Fetishes are an animal, bird, or figure hand-carved from stone, shell, antler, wood, or other natural materials. Zuni Fetishes were first carved as "hunting" fetishes. When taken on a hunting expedition, they would ensure a plentiful and successful hunt. Each fetish is believed to have a spirit within. If properly treated and cared for, Zuni Fetishes will help guide you on the right path in life. This fetish is not carved by a Zuni artist. It is a ZUNI-LIKE fetish.
