Native American Bone Fetish Sterling Silver Necklace.

What a work of art! A variety of Bone fetish animals all stacked together. This one features a virtual zoo with fish, turtles, armadillos, horses, squirrels, and birds. Each of these fetishes were finely carved by hand out of genuine Bone. Strung in our shop by Navajo Indian jewelry artist Berlinda Begay. This is a true offering of nature in a 26-3/4" necklace. Each end is dressed with a Sterling Silver bench bead and cone. Adorned with the large Grizzly Bear pendant as the centerpiece.

Native Americans have always felt a special connection to nature. The belief that all things have a spirit is an integral part of their religions. The Zuni believe that animals are more like the Zuni deities than is man. They also believe that animals have more power than man and that these powers, both practical and spiritual, reside in their totems.
