About Seller: I'm Albert Cheama. Born and raised in Zuni, NM. I started selling fetishes to support myself through college at Univ. of Michigan in Ann Arbor. There are a few of us in the Cheama household that were not blessed in the field of making art, believe me I tried. Growing up in an creative family full of silversmiths and carvers, workmanship is highly valued. I know good Jewelry and Fetishes when I see it. There are lots very good artists in this small community and I am very fortunate to have gotten to know many of them quite well. Thank you for your interest and support.
Zuni fetishes are hand-carved pieces of natural materials, depicting animals or other symbols of the Zuni connection to nature and all that is. These fine carvings have many uses: for trade, religious ceremonial use, luck in hunting, ensuring rain, enhancing fertility and propagation, diagnosing and curing disease.
