Zuni Fetishes
Loren Tsalabutie fossil sand dollar sea turtle fetish, 3/4” high by 2-1/4” long by 2-1/4” wide, SOLD. This guy has lovely markings.
Gibbs Othole serpentine tortoise fetish, 1-1/4” high by 2-3/4” long by 1-3/4” wide, SOLD. The mottled serpentine looks like a mix of shadows and sunlight on the tortoise shell.
Ephran Chavez speckled brown serpentine turtle fetish, 1/4” high by 2” long by 7/8” wide, SOLD. This turtle has alternating turquoise and jet rain drops, something Ephran rarely does.
Mike Tucson tan serpentine turtle fetish, 1/2” high by 1-3/4” long by 1-1/8” wide, SOLD. Mike textured the head and legs of the turtle to resemble turtle skin.
Kenny Chavez leopard jasper turtle fetish, 3/4” high by 1-3/4” long by 1” wide, SOLD. Kenny’s trademark silver eyes are there, but very hard to see in this spotted stone.
Brian Yatsattie serpentine hibernating turtle fetish, 1/2” high by 1-1/2” long by 1-1/4” wide, $100. This guy must have heard us coming because he opened his turquoise eyes to peek out.
Rosella Lunasee Petosky stone turtle fetish, 3/4” high by 3-1/4” long by 1-3/4” wide, SOLD. We rarely see turtles by Rosella.
Leonard “Old Man” Halate (d) pipestone turtle fetish, 1/2” high by 1-3/8” long by 7/8” wide, SOLD. Fairly early piece by Leonard, beautifully finished and polished.
Ron Laahty (d) brown serpentine turtle fetish, 1/2” high by 1-3/4” long by 1-1/4” wide, SOLD. This is an early piece of Ron’s before he began to make the compound eyes like Ricky does.
Danette Laate serpentine turtle fetish, 1/2” high by 1-7/8” long by 1-1/8” wide, $90. This turtle carries the weather on his back: his shell is inlaid with a sun face and turquoise rain drops.
Clissa Martin serpentine turtle fetish with inlaid raven, 1/2” high by 1-1/4” long by 1” wide, SOLD. Steve loved ravens as well as turtles; in fact, he had a flock of ravens that came every morning and looked in his patio door waiting for him to feed them. This turtle was a must-have for him.
Britney Eustace labradorite sea turtle fetish, 1/2” high by 1-7/8” long by 1-3/8” wide, SOLD. This swimming turtle has such great animation.
Gibbs Othole variscite turtle fetish, 5/8” high by 1-3/8” long by 1-5/8” wide, SOLD. The lapis inlaid eyes contrast nicely with the variscite.
Dee Edaakie chrysocolla standing turtle fetish, 1-1/2” high by 1-1/8” long by 3/4” wide, $300. This chrysocolla came from a chunk of Sonoran Sunrise, and you can still see some of the red cuprite. Beautiful stone.
Ralph Quam (d) cedar wood turtle fetish, 1” high by 1-7/8” long by 1-1/4” wide, SOLD. Ralph detailed a sun face surrounded by eagle feathers on the shell.
Herbert Him textured grey serpentine turtle fetish, 1-1/2” high by 3-1/4” long by 2” wide, $300. Herbert is well known for his turtles.

Ron Laahty (d) opalized fluorite turtle fetish, 5/8” high by 1-1/2” long by 1-1/4” wide, $200. A nice chunky size and shape.
Andrew and Laura Quam (d) layered shell and jade turtle fetish, 1/4” high by 1-3/4” long by 1” wide, $130. Andrew and Laura were famous for these multi-layer turtles, and this is one of the prettiest I have seen.
Todd Poncho brown serpentine turtle fetish, 1-1/4” high by 4-1/2” long by 2-1/4” wide SOLD. This is the largest turtle in this posting, aside from Dee’s offering bowl.
Ron Laahty (d) tiny blue angelite turtle fetish, 1/2” high by 3/4” long by 3/4” wide, SOLD. A very alert little guy!
David Tsikewa (d) Salt River serpentine turtle fetish, 3/4” high by 2-1/8” long by 1-1/2” wide, SOLD. It is rare to get a David Tsikewa table fetish that is signed.
Dee Edaakie crawstone fossil shell turtle offering bowl, 2” high by 5-3/4” long by 4-3/4” wide, SOLD. Dee made several large offering bowls in the form of various animals. All were carved of found stone except this one.
