Zuni Bird Fetishes

Zuni Pueblo eagle family fetish carving in fossilized ivory

Animals of the sky, bird fetishes can symbolize good hunting, protection, spirituality, and good vision.

Of all the Zuni bird fetishes carved, the EAGLE is by far the most popular carving, and is a very traditional carving.

The Eagle is part of six-directional fetish carvings, along with badgers, bears, wolves, moles and mountain lions.
