Zuni Garden Fetishes: Insects, Snails, Butterflies
The fetish carvings in this category include animals and insects one would find in a garden setting: bugs, snails, butterflies, dragonflies, cicadas, ants, etc.
These are non-traditional figures in the Zuni fetish carving world, however Zuni Pueblo carvers do occasionally carve them, often for humorous effect, or upon the request of a collector.
As these figures are non-traditional, they do not hold any specific traditional meanings, but rather, reflect a more contemporary reality of the presence of these figures in the Southwest or the world.
