Gabe Sice Zuni Antler Maiden Fetish – Turquoise & Coral Inlay, Signed

This exceptional Zuni maiden fetish is hand carved by acclaimed artist Gabe Sice, known for his award-winning work within the Zuni carving tradition. Fashioned from genuine antler, the figure beautifully represents a traditional maiden, symbolizing fertility, nurturing, and cultural continuity.

Gabe Sice” and marked “Zuni Fetish” on the feet, this piece demonstrates Sice’s meticulous attention to detail and deep respect for Zuni symbolism. Antler, prized for its natural beauty and fine grain, allows for intricate features and delicate incising, evident throughout this figure’s flowing robe and headdress.
