A classic example of her fetish carving work circa 1990’s. Ellen was the matriarch of the Quandelacy family of carvers….. She was known for showing the gender of her horses, as you can see this is a stallion. Note two small holes by the rear of the horse… This was to show the gender of the horse….. Her horses are highly sought after. Made for a pendant or necklace, with hole as shown…. Or for a stand alone carving. Still has a beautiful polish to the turquoise.

Antique American Indian Art, llc. Vintage Zuni Old Style Wolf Fetish, Striped Serpentine. Size: 1 1/2″h x 3 1/8″. Has a nick on the end of tail. American Indians have used fetishes throughout recorded history. Fetishes are believed to hold magical powers and protect the owner or craftsmen from various problems of mind or body. Some believe that their mystical powers can even protect against problems of the universe. It is also believed that the care a fetish receives is directly proportional to the protection it will provide. Indians believe that fetishes must be properly cared for. They are given offerings of cornmeal and kept in special turquoise encrusted fetish pots or pouches. Often fetishes are adorned with turquoise, arrowheads and feathers. These are offerings to the fetish for gifts received or anticipated. We are confident that you will be pleased with the value, service and peace-of-mind that our gallery can offer you. Thank you for looking! We will be adding lots of quality Antique American Indian Art over the next few months.
