Pan-te-ah

The shell gives the figure a sense of movement, as if frozen in the midst of stalking prey or slyly darting through shadows. The vibrant turquoise heart line running down its body symbolizes wisdom and clarity of purpose, while its intense gaze from piercing turquoise eyes commands attention and respect. This dramatic piece captures the essence of the cunning and elusive nature of the fox, a symbol often associated with intelligence, adaptability, and cleverness. Displaying this exquisite carving in any setting will certainly draw admiration and intrigue from all who behold its mesmerizing presence.

The fox (Łanako) is often called “sly,” and this quality may be attributed to the way this creature camouflages itself while silently observing the world around it. The fox’s senses are ever alert, so that it may avoid any danger for itself and its closely bonded family. Twenty-one types of foxes exist around the planet, and in various cultures they are associated with the feminine, as well as with the supernatural, including sixth sense perception, invisibility, and shapeshifting.

The fox meaning can remind us not to reveal too much too soon, or that exercising discretion and restraint can be key to self-empowerment. One great gift of fox medicine is that they can adapt well to most anything for the good of the self and clan, so they will most certainly survive, dwelling comfortably in the borderlands and twilight, always allowing for a bit of amusement and magic along the way.
