Zuni Snake Fetish – Bone, Turquoise, Coral & Arrowhead
This Zuni snake fetish is intricately carved from bone and accented with symbolic offerings, including a red stone arrowhead, turquoise nugget, branch coral, and small shell beads. The figure features a stylized serpent form with subtle shaping and banded carving at the tail, embodying protection and transformation in the Zuni tradition.
Each element is carefully tied with sinew and cord, representing traditional fetish bundling practices. Though unsigned, the craftsmanship and composition are consistent with Zuni artistry. A compelling piece for collectors of Native American miniatures or spiritual artefacts.
