Description

Vintage Zuni Amethyst Hummingbird Fetish Necklace, Sterling Silver, 25"

This vintage Zuni fetish necklace features ten delicately hand-carved white stone hummingbird fetishes, interspersed with deep purple amethyst beads and accented by polished sterling silver spacers. Each hummingbird fetish reflects the Zuni tradition of carving animals and birds as symbols of spiritual significance, with the hummingbird representing joy, beauty, and resilience.

Strung in a balanced and elegant design, this necklace beautifully showcases the craftsmanship for which the Zuni Pueblo people are renowned. The smooth, lustrous amethyst beads add a rich contrast to the pale stone fetishes, while the sterling silver accents bring a refined touch. Completed with a classic hook clasp, this timeless piece is a testament to Zuni artistry and cultural tradition.
