    Description

    I combine shipping on multiple auctions, so if you're a collector, bid on everything to get an even better deal, and then bid again on each piece for good measure!
    Why I'm selling this: My mother no longer wants these, and while I do like this piece, I do not collect Native American art and would rather pass this along to a collector.
    Description: This is a Native American Navajo fetish carving, purchased by my mother on or near the Navajo reservation in Arizona or New Mexico.  This fetish depicts a jaguar, which is indeed an animal native to the American Southwest and Mexico, although not commonly seen there.  It has articulated toes.  It is made of a stone that is mottled and spotted like a jaguar's pelt, with two tiny turquoise dots for eyes.  This piece is by Roy Davis, and a sticker on the underside of the rear feet reads "ROY DAVIS NAV.", with the last word standing for his Navajo identity.
    This fetish has no defects.
    Specifications: 1 1/4" across (nose to tail), 3/4" thick (front left foot to nose), 5/8" tall (ears are highest point); 20.0g
