Zuni Pueblo animal fetishes are small, hand-carved stone sculptures, primarily of animals, created by artisans from the Zuni Pueblo in New Mexico. These carvings hold deep cultural and spiritual significance for the Zuni people (known as A:Shiwi), representing the spirits or "medicine" of the animals depicted. They are believed to embody the inherent qualities of the animal, such as strength, healing, protection, or guidance, and can aid their owners in hunting, fertility, or daily life.
