Serpentine Raccoon Fetish

Width: 1 in.
Height: 1 in.
Length: 3 1/2 in.

The body of the raccoon is carved from a beige piece of serpentine. Serpentine is very versatile stone that comes in a variety of colors. It is a favorite among all carvers. On the surface of the body Suzette Lementino carved fine lines into the stone to create the look of fur. Bands of jet have been incorporated to give this frisky fetish his rings and trademark bandit mask. Small rounds of turquoise were inlaid into the jet for eyes. This is a great fetish that can be appreciated by any collector and non-collector alike.
