Sedrick Banteah is a skilled Zuni Pueblo fetish carver known for his detailed animal carvings, often signed "SB Zuni." Prairie dog fetishes are among his works, typically depicting the animal standing upright on its hind legs with incised fur details, high-relief feet and tail, and sometimes inlaid turquoise eyes.

These small stone carvings (usually 1–2 inches tall) symbolize community, family participation, and self-worth in Zuni tradition—reminding us that engaging with friends and family nurtures well-being, and every individual contributes to the greater good.
