Description
This is a beautiful hand carved Zuni fetish by noted artist Terrence Martza. This fetish is a hand carved Coyote made from Alabaster with Turquoise eyes. The fetish is signed by the Zuni Artist noted as TJM. The fetish measures approximately 3 5/8 inches across the bottom and is 4 3/4 inches tall at the tallest point. Total weight of this piece is 331.0 grams.
Zuni fetishes are hand-carved objects, which represent the spirits of animals or the forces of nature. The earliest fetishes are called Ahlashiwe or stone ancients by the Zunis. They were naturally formed stones that seemed to resemble people or animals, sometimes made more realistic with the features accentuated by a carver. Zunis believe that animals, as well as inanimate objects and the forces of nature, have a spirit force. It is believed that the carved animal fetishes host that spiritual force and, if treated propeerly, will help their owners to overcome the problems facing them.
The Coyote is the master trickster who often tricks himself. The Coyote represents humor and the ability to laugh at one's own mistakes and is also associated with mischievousness.
