Fetishes were carved into several different animals and supernatural spirits, each a significant symbol to the Zuni people. The animals and spirits depicted through these fetishes were believed to have certain characteristics that were transferred into the carvings themselves. If you owned a fetish, you would then inherit the respective properties that your fetish represents.
Some animals have important symbolic characteristics that are relatively consistent; however, the spirit of the fetish can be interpreted in many ways depending on the individual owner’s perspective.
