Vernon Lunasee is a respected Zuni Pueblo fetish carver from New Mexico, often collaborating with his wife, Prudencia Quam. 

Zuni fetishes are small, hand-carved stone animal figures with spiritual significance in Zuni tradition. They serve as protective talismans, aids for hunting, healing, or personal guidance, and are typically made from materials like turquoise, alabaster, marble, jet, or other stones. Artists like Lunasee often add inlaid eyes or offerings of turquoise, coral, or shell.
