Zuni fetishes are powerful representations of animals, birds, or figures, each hand-carved from stone, shell, antler, wood, or other natural materials. Originally, Zuni fetishes were carved as "hunting" fetishes to ensure a plentiful and successful hunt. Every fetish is believed to have a spirit within, guiding the owner on their life path if properly cared for. It is said that Zuni fetishes feed on cornmeal, so caring for your fetish includes regular offerings, such as small stones or feathers, which are believed to bring spiritual rewards, healing, or strength.
While we cannot promise that a fetish will change your life, over the years, many of our customers have shared remarkable stories about the positive impact their fetish has had on them. Each fetish we offer is skillfully crafted by Zuni artisans, unless otherwise noted, and is made from a variety of stones and shells. Prices vary depending on the detail, artist, and materials used.
