F600 Double Mouse Fetish
Picasso marble double mouse fetish by Zuni carver Elroy Pablito. The 2 7/8” x ¾” x ¾” mice have turquoise eyes and a medicine bundle.
The fetish pair is thought to represent the male and female. The conjoined form of male and female is rare and is significant of unity, oneness, marriage and partnership.
Medicine Bundles are meant as a gift offering to the animal spirit. The bundles provide the animal spirit with energy, enhancing its powers and allowing its prayers to be heard more easily. They are carried on either the back or side of the fetish.
Mice are associated with illusion, charm, scrutiny, and paying attention to detail
.A favorite subject of Zuni carver Elroy Pablito's is the double wolf figures, for which he is known, but he also does pairs of other animals. Elroy was born 03/28/1967 and lives at the Zuni Pueblo.
