FE237 Harpo turtle fetish

Zuni fetish - One of a Kind piece.


Turtle carved in alabaster with eyes and shell details in Sleeping Beauty turquoise. 

The turtle symbolizes protection, longevity, love and knowledge (it is the mother of the earth).

In a time when the Zuni tribe lived from agriculture and hunting, the hunters couldn’t do without these amulets and would never forget to bring them during their expeditions. The fetishes assure benevolence of the soul.
Each animal represents its spirit, its own inner force and protects its owner.


Dimensions (H x L x l) in mm = 8mm x 21mm x 8mm.

Proudly Zuni handmade in the USA.
