The most renowned fetish carvers are the Zuni, who call themselves Asiwi (Ah-she-wee). Traditionally, Zuni fetishes are small carvings made from various materials by the Zuni Indians. These carvings serve a ceremonial purpose for their creators and depict animals and icons integral to their culture. As a form of contemporary Native American art, they are sold with non-religious intentions to collectors worldwide. This beautifully carved squirrel was created and signed by Karen Zunie and measures 1 3/8" tall with tail by 1 7/8" long. The material used is Kingman Turquoise.
