Description
 
Among the most renowned Zuni fetish carvers is Teddy Weahkee (1890-1965). This wonderful carved Mudhead figure by Teddy features a shell, turquoise and heishi bundle belt wrapped around a leather garment. This figure measures 5" tall and 3 7/8" wide outstretched arms. The figure is 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.
