Jayne Quam (Diné/Navajo, who carves in the Zuni tradition and is frequently sold alongside Zuni Pueblo artists) is a well-known contemporary fetish carver. She produces detailed turtle fetishes from materials such as alabaster, serpentine, marble, dolomite, turquoise, and other stones, often with multi-stone mosaic or inlay work on the shell (turquoise, lapis, jasper, shell, etc.), turquoise eyes, and sometimes additional elements like a spiral or heartline. She typically signs pieces “JQ.”

Shipping

U.S. Shipping: One Flat Rate Per Order

Every U.S. order is packed in-house at our gallery and ships insured via USPS or UPS, with signature required on delivery. You pay one flat rate for the whole order, never per item:

  • Fetishes: $8
  • Jewelry & Pottery: $15
  • All other pieces: $20

Buying from more than one category? You only pay the highest rate in your cart, so eight fetishes and a pair of earrings ship together for just $15.

Oversized Pieces

Large or heavy pieces, such as big pottery, baskets, rugs and framed art, are custom-packed and shipped at actual cost. As a guide, that's anything needing a box larger than 12" × 12" × 12" or weighing over 5 lbs. At checkout, choose Oversized – Shipping Invoiced Separately and we'll email your shipping invoice, usually within 24 hours. Contact us for an estimate before you buy.

International

International orders are welcome! We quote international shipping separately and invoice the actual postage after purchase. Contact us beforehand if you'd like an estimate.
