Zuni Bone Fetish with Turquoise, Coral & Arrowhead – 5¼"
A distinctive Zuni fetish carving crafted from natural bone and adorned with a traditional offering bundle of turquoise, red coral, and a carved arrowhead. This unsigned piece reflects the deep spiritual traditions of Zuni artistry, where the symbolism of the materials often holds greater significance than the carver's name. The smooth, fluted bone body is accented by a vibrant turquoise stone associated with protection, a red coral branch representing life force, and a flaked arrowhead that signifies strength and spiritual guidance.
Unsigned as many authentic Zuni fetishes are, this piece honors the ceremonial practice of animal and spirit carvings used for guidance, protection, and prayer. The careful assembly and organic textures make it a compelling collectible for those interested in Native American art and symbolism.
Condition
In good condition with some surface wear consistent with age and use. The natural patina and slight residue around the stones and arrowhead enhance its authenticity. No visible cracks, chips, or damage.
