It combines heishi beads—small, handcrafted beads traditionally made from shells but now also crafted from stones, coral, or other natural materials—with fetish carvings, which are small, hand-carved figures (often animals) that hold cultural and spiritual significance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe term \"heishi\" means \"shell\" in the Keres language of the Santo Domingo Pueblo. Traditionally, heishi beads are made from shells like olivella, spiny oyster, or mother-of-pearl, but modern heishi can include materials like turquoise, coral, lapis, or jet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFetishes are small carvings, often of animals (e.g., birds, bears, foxes, turtles, or fish), that are believed to carry spiritual significance in Native American cultures, particularly among the Zuni. Each animal may represent specific qualities or powers, such as protection, strength, or wisdom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Antique American Indian Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47910379716773,"sku":"250324-259","price":950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6071\/5685\/files\/250324-259_1.jpg?v=1781304221","url":"https:\/\/antiqueamericanindianart.com\/products\/navajo-5-strand-fetish-necklace-copy","provider":"Antique American Indian Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
