Pincion, Zuni |
Hubert (Bert) Pincion is the only Zuni fetish carver that we know of that does all of his carving completely by hand. He does not used any electric tools in his work. He only uses a knife and files. Horses are a favorite subject of his and he knows them well. | |
It
is apparent that the artist really knows horses
as he captures their conformation,
behavior and expression beautifully.
Detailed carving on both sides.

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.
Soapstone is a very soft stone composed primarily of talc. Read more about stones.
The horse is an animal of freedom and the Horse Fetish has the power of healing, strength and safe movement.
