Burmese Shaman Bull Fetish (Myanmar)
2.25” Length x 1.175” Width x 1.675” 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 amulets 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 piece has a thickly textured shiny black patina and is in excellent condition.
