Eagle fetish, that I have had so long that I (almost) can't remember when or where I got it.Eagle = a connection with the divine, a soaring spirit that transcends personal problems; creator, teacher, great integrity. "Hunters sometimes carry them for success when rabbits, penguins, or other small game are their prey." (BONUS Link! Zuni/English Dictionary)
The artist may be Salvatore Romero, not a Zuni, but from Pueblo de Cochiti.
This fetish also calls the Fremont Culture trapezoidal anthropomorphic petroglyphs from the Colorado Plateau. Like these below, in Horseshoe Canyon in Canyonlands NP in Utah. It's called the 'Barrier Canyon' style of petroglyphs.
But no. The feathered and pointed tail tells the tale. It's an eagle.
