Zuni beadwork figures, also known as beaded dolls or figurines, are a distinctive form of Native American folk art originating from the Zuni Pueblo in western New Mexico. These intricate creations represent people, animals, dancers, and ceremonial scenes, often blending traditional Zuni cultural motifs with everyday or holiday themes. They are prized for their vibrant colors, meticulous craftsmanship, and evolution from modest tourist souvenirs to highly collectible pieces of art.
