PE520 buffalo fetish silver pendant Harpo

This beautiful buffalo pendant was created from a Zuni fetish animal: this small buffalo, initially carved in stone by the hands of a Zuni artist, served as a matrix to create a mold into which melted silver was poured. Once harden, it gave birth to this beautiful pendant, on which you can see every little engraving detail made by the artist. It's a real little sculpture to wear around your neck.

The buffalo is an emblematic animal of the South-West of the USA. For the Natives, it symbolizes plentiness and endurance and is known to fulfill wishes.
