Burmese Shaman Bull Fetish (Myanmar)
2” Length x .75” Width x 1.375” Height Over 80 years old, this figure would have been used as a medicine fetish as well as a house guardian. The Brahman bull has a distinct hump rising from its neck and shoulders. These magically imbued fetishes symbolize prosperity and the spiritual world. If you turn them over, you will notice small portions have been scraped off for use in elixirs. This bull has a beautiful red patina that’s beginning to wear thin and show the gold and black tones of its undercoats.
