What is a Fetish? A fetish is a rock carving of an animal that captures the spirit and the essence of the animal, not necessarily its exact detailed conformation. Although carved from many types of rock, fishrock is traditional. Read more about fetishes. Many fetishes
have a medicine bundle or adornment tied on the back of the horse that often consists
of coral seed beads, shell heishi, feathers and other stone pieces. The style
and detail of carving varies among artists but usually includes detail on the
face, ears, tail and mane. Often the eyes and other spots of adornment on the
horse are inset pieces of contrasting stones such as turquoise, coral and others.
