Table of Contents: Page 1 - Page 2 These tiny, exquisite ""charm stones"" make up some of the most popular--and most collected--Native American art in the country. ""Zuni Fetishes and Carvings offers the most complete guide to these appealing objects on the market today. How can fetishes help us in our daily lives? What does the bear represent? The frog? The eagle? What powers do they contain? In this deluxe, newly combined and updated volume, noted Indian trader Kent McManis explains the different types of fetishes with special emphasis on the two major traditional groups: the protective/healing group and the hunting group. He describes the many materials that Zuni artists work with today and introduces many skilled carvers, from those who have worked in this field for many years to relative newcomers. With hundreds of photos of fetishes in full color and newly updated family trees for the carvers, this volume comprises the best general reference on the subject ever available for collectors.
