As the granddaughter of Teddy Weahkee, a pioneering Zuni artist, and daughter of Edna Leki, believed to be the first female Zuni fetish carver, Lena was part of a five-generation carving dynasty. She learned the craft from her mother and grandfather, beginning by sanding and polishing fetishes as a teenager after Teddy’s death in 1965. Her sister, Dinah Gasper, and children, Leland and Evalena Boone, also became accomplished carvers, continuing the family legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLena’s fetishes are characterized by their simplicity, traditional “old style” minimalism, and easily recognizable forms, such as foxes with pointed ears or mountain lions with tails atop their backs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique American Indian Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45878074278053,"sku":"22-0755","price":88.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6071\/5685\/files\/s725348264778838518_p14692_i1_w1024.jpg?v=1757346679","url":"https:\/\/antiqueamericanindianart.com\/products\/22-0755-zuni-glass-fox-fetish-by-lena-boone-d","provider":"Antique American Indian Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
