Zuni Fetishes
All Pueblo people carve and use fetishes in their ceremonies. The Zuni are best known of these, and are so famous for them in fact that they are copied by non-Pueblo tribes, Anglos, and even foreigners. Genuine Zuni fetishes are prized by collectors worldwide.

Fabian Tsethlikai fishrock serpentine African lion fetish, 1-1/2” high by 3” long by 1” wide, $120. Textured mane and tail tip on this highly polished beauty.

Julius Yuselew (d) yttrium fluorite seated olla maiden fetish, 1-3/4” high by 3/4” long by 3/4” wide, $100. This maiden looks very much like the ones done by Jeff Tsalabutie in the late 90s, three of which are on exhibit in The Zuni Fetish Museum. ​

Dee Edaakie boulder opal bear fetish, 2” high by 2” long by 1-1/4” wide, $140. Not much opal, just a touch on his nose and some veining on his paws, but the ironstone makes a wonderfully sturdy bear.

Dee Edaakie purple fluorite bear cub fetish, 1” high by 2” long by 1/2” wide, $125. A sweet little cub learning his way around.

Dee Edaakie yttrium fluorite owl fetish, 1-5/8” high by 1-3/4” wide by 1” long, $150. Looking backward with his coral eyes, as you know owls can do.
