Zuni Turquoise & Jasper Fetish Earrings – Hand-Carved Bear & Fox Design, 8.57g
Charming pair of hand-carved Zuni fetish-style dangle earrings, featuring a turquoise fox above a jasper bear on each earring. The turquoise carvings display the vivid sky-blue hue symbolic of protection and healing in Zuni tradition, while the jasper bears convey strength and grounding. Each animal is detailed with incised markings and inlaid eyes, reflecting the careful, spiritual artistry associated with Zuni carving traditions.
These earrings are an expressive example of Southwestern Native American design, combining meaningful symbolism with wearable beauty. Similar fetish carvings are rooted in the ceremonial and artistic practices of the Zuni Pueblo, where each animal embodies its own spirit and lesson. Strung with silver-tone beads and hooks, this pair blends traditional inspiration with contemporary craftsmanship — ideal for collectors or admirers of Native American jewelry.
