Lakota / Sioux Beaded Fetish Amulet Lizard Form

Item Details

Description

Native American, Western United States, Plains Tribes, Lakota / Dakota (Sioux), ca. early to mid-20th century CE. A rawhide and hand beaded fetish amulet in the form of a lizard filled with stuffing that consists of animal hair and / or the dried umbilical cord from a newborn. From the tips of the limbs dangles beads and tin jingle cones, and the rawhide from a deer or bison is stitched with hundreds of glass seed beads. When a child was born the mother sewed 2 animal amulets to hang on the cradle - one for holding the dried umbilical cord, and the other was a decoy to confuse evil spirits. When old enough, the child later wore the amulet for protection, the lizard is symbolic of boys while turtles symbolize girls. Size: 7" L x 3" W (17.8 cm x 7.6 cm)
