Copper fetish?

    Has anyone ever seen a solid copper SW-style fetish? I got this at an estate sale and when I picked it up, I thought it must be the heaviest stone ever! Then I realized it was metal and am sure it's solid copper.

    I've only been able to find one (cheesy) site selling copper fetishes, so I figured I'd ask you all.

    Is it just someone's random idea of a Zuni fetish? Any guesses as to what animal is depicted?

    Thanks in advance!

    My wife worked in two Native American jewelry shops over 20 years and says that she never encountered a fetish artisan working in metal.
