Native American Fetishes are small carvings made from various materials such as bone, shells, and gemstones. These carvings traditionally serve a ceremonial purpose for their creators and depict animals and icons integral to their culture. Each animal has great significance and meaning, many with protective abilities or healing powers. Fetish carvings are believed to have magical powers and protect or enhance the owner or craftsman.
Collectors worldwide collect fetishes as a form of contemporary Native American art with an appreciation for the craftsmanship and meaning behind each fetish. The meaning of each is provided within the product. However, over time many carvers started to create some non-traditional animals due to requests, region, and popularity. These non-traditional fetishes may not have the significance or abilities of other more traditional fetish carvings.
Experience the exquisite artistry of Zuni artist Danette Laate with this captivating Zuni frog fetish, expertly carved from serpentine. Enhanced with inlaid turquoise eyes and adorned with a stunning Zuni sunface crafted from black onyx, red coral, and turquoise, this piece resonates with spiritual symbolism and cultural significance. Surrounding the sunface, five small round turquoise stones are meticulously arranged in a cross formation, symbolizing harmony and tradition. Ideal for collectors and admirers of Native American art, this serpentine frog fetish by Danette Laate is a testament to craftsmanship and spiritual beauty, making it a cherished addition to any collection or a thoughtful gift.
