Zuni fetishes are small, hand-carved sculptures created by artisans from the Zuni Pueblo in New Mexico, traditionally serving as spiritual objects believed to embody the essence of animals or figures for protection, healing, and mediation with the natural world. While most fetishes depict animals, some represent ceremonial figures like priests, drawing from Zuni religious societies such as the Bow Priesthood. These "priest fetishes" or "altar fetishes" often symbolize guardians or mediators in rituals, and they are typically carved from natural materials like antler, stone, shell, or bone.
