Zuni fetishes

Zuni fetish, Antler Deer, Pernell Laate, 3 3/4 inches tall

Welcome to Prophet's Rock

Different creatures, different stones, different carvers (artists), each Zuni fetish is a unique object of art. In recent years the Zuni fetish carvers have been given to a certain refinement in their task, and the craft has progressed and is progressing to a finer art. In that regard one appreciates the aesthetic properties inherent in the carving and the individualism of the artist that it reflects. There is, however, a certain mystery that abides in every carving, and many collectors have commented that they where given to a particular piece because it "talked" to them. Aesthetic properties aside, this phenomenon is indicative of the mysterious power that resides in every Zuni fetish carving.
