Ulysses Mahkee (sometimes spelled Vlysses) is a Zuni Pueblo fetish carver from New Mexico, known for his small, detailed animal carvings, particularly rams, in a simple sgraffito (etched or incised) style.

Zuni ram (or bighorn sheep) fetishes commonly symbolize leadership, self-worth, balance, male fertility, and prosperity (e.g., increasing herds or flocks). Mahkee’s rams are typically compact and polished with incised details for horns, eyes, or symbolic markings.
