Paula says - "Each of these tiny buffalo are carved by hand so the one you receive will vary slightly from the one pictured here.
"Some have black eyes and others have turquoise eyes - if you have a preference let us know in the NOTE BOX when you order, otherwise we'll choose."
Penny above and hand below show scale of buffalo carving.
What is a Fetish?
A fetish is a rock carving of an animal that captures the spirit and the essence of the animal, not necessarily its exact detailed conformation. Although carved from many types of rock, fishrock is traditional. Read more about fetishes.
BUFFALO MEDICINE: The white buffalo is considered sacred by the Lakota and many other Native American tribes. Buffalo was the major source of sustenance for Indigenous cultures of the plains, giving meat for food, hides for shelter and clothing, and Spirit Medicine. The Medicine of Buffalo is prayer, gratitude and praise for that which has been received. Buffalo Medicine is also knowing that abundance is present when all relations are honored as sacred, and when gratitude is expressed to every living part of creation, recognizing the sacredness of every walk of life.
