While not considered fetishes, lizards are still viable to the art.
Sterling silver two piece set. Although non-religious in nature they still speak to the artists ability.
Another example of the non-local animal. These carvings are not a part of the Zuni religon however they show the craftsmanship none the less.
Non local animals can still be under the fetish umbrella.
The amber badger or "flat wolf" carving.
Considered the protective animal of the south.
Sterling silver bear.
Initiates of the "Bear Clan" society would appreciate this guy.
The bear is considered the most important of the fetishes. Bears are symbolic for the west.
