Hohokam shell bison effigy fetishes are small, carved shell figures representing bison, used by the ancient Hohokam people (c. 1000-1500 AD) in the American Southwest as ritual objects or personal adornments, often found in larger settlements and varying in complexity, with bison figures sometimes considered higher-value items, signifying spiritual importance, though actual examples are rare and highly prized by collectors.
