If we give animacy to creation we in turn see the natural world as having value and deserving of respect. Creatures like Foxes and other wild canines are revered by Indigenous cultures. In Japanese tradition, Kitsune are foxes that possess powerful abilities that grow as they get older and wiser. These fox spirits have the ability to shapeshift too. Pansy Natachu's rich dolomite fox features colorful mosaic inlays from gold lip shell, jet, turquoise, lapis and spiny oyster shell. The handsome arrowhead shaped inlay on the back region serves as an offering. About 2 3/8" long, 1/2" wide and 7/8" tall.
