Zuni Pueblo fetish necklaces are stunning examples of Southwestern Native American artistry, deeply rooted in the traditions of the Zuni people (one of the Pueblo tribes in New Mexico). These necklaces feature small, hand-carved animal figurines—known as fetishes—strung together, often with heishi beads (tiny shell or stone spacers) made by neighboring pueblos like Santo Domingo (Kewa).
