Collection: Zuni Fetish Carvings

Zuni Fetishes are small, stone, animal carvings from the Zuni Pueblo of New Mexico, USA. The Zuni people have been making these since well before recorded history. The Zuni are the only people to give these fetishes metaphysical powers. Sometimes you see fetishes made by Navajo and other Native American tribes but these carvings have no special powers are only made for commercial use. Zuni fetishes are used in both healing and hunting ceremonies. A Zuni fetish can give you the power of the animal it represents; the strength of a bear, the cunning of a wolf, the vision of an eagle... A zuni fetish is a living spirit. Often, people leave bread and water next to their fetish. Zuni Fetish Necklaces or leather medicine bags are the most popular way to carry fetishes.
