Badgers contribute to New Mexico's rich wildlife heritage. They are great diggers hollowing out homes using powerfully clawed paws. Deep in their burrows, constant contact with rhizomes and plants give an intimate knowledge of their uses. A protective animal to the Zunis, badgers are believed to help medicine men dig healing roots. Larry Peina's refreshing sodalite badger has turquoise eyes and sgraffito-etched fur details. A bright orange spiny oyster shell point offering bundle is secured to this roughly 2 3/4" long, 1 1/4" wide and 7/8" tall friend.
