Fetishes are highly respected and are mystical, powerful talismans valued by Native American and other cultures throughout the world. The animal spirit is believed to reside within the stone. The Zuni carvers are perhaps the best known.   

We purchased this fetish new for gallery inventory in 1994 and it has been in our safe since that time. Please examine carefully and let us know if you have any questions or need further information/photos.  Please visit our store for more contemporary and traditional Native American pieces from a variety of artists and tribal affiliations.
