Among the most renowned Zuni fetish carvers is Teddy Weahkee. This pair of Zuni Priests carved by Teddy, features shells and Blue Gem turquoise bundle belt wrapped over leather cord. These figures measure 5 1/2" tall and 1 3/4" wide and 5" tall and 1 3/4" wide. Both figures are in excellent condition.

A veteran of World War I, Weahkee attended school in Phoenix; and, upon returning to Zuni, he participated in the archaeological dig at Hawikuh (1917-1923) where he gained firsthand knowledge of ancient Zuni art forms. Weahkee became well-known for a style of fetish carving that closely resembles historic Zuni forms. He also carved highly distinctive human figures.The material used is deer antler.
