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.
A double fetish represents relationship and unity. Jet
(Acoma Jet) is a solid black type of lignite coal that is mined around
the Acoma Pueblo region, thus the name Acoma Jet, or Jet for short. It is very
popular for carving fetishes. It is also used for inlaying but usually not used
in stone sets.
