Ulysses Mahkee is a Zuni Pueblo fetish carver known for small, detailed animal carvings (fetishes) from materials like pipestone, jet, and other stones.

Zuni fetishes are traditional hand-carved figures, often of animals, that historically held ceremonial or spiritual significance (e.g., aiding hunting, healing, or protection) but are now also collected as art. Rams symbolize self-worth, leadership, or increasing flocks/herds in many Native American contexts.
