Zuni Pueblo owl figurines made of clay are typically hollow and constructed using the coil method, a technique used by other Zuni artists like Erma Kalestewa Homer and Carlos Laate. These are considered pottery figurines or effigies, not generally classified as "fetishes" in the same sense as the sacred, blessed carvings used traditionally.
