Zuni Navajo Carved Horse Animal Fetish Necklaces

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. Indian fetishes can be carried or displayed. Those that are carried are often called pocket fetishes. Those that are displayed are called table fetishes. Zuni artists are the traditional fetish carvers but there are many talented Navajo carvers as well. The animals can vary but often include birds, bears, horses, mountain lions, turtles, foxes, wolves and many others. The stones usually used include turquoise, mother of pearl, pink shell, acoma jet, serpentine, pipestone and many others. Read more about fetishes.

Indian Horse Symbolism

The Horse Spirit inspires our dreams, awakens passion, carries us far and fast, and brings us close to our instinctual and authentic nature. Horse enables us to move beyond our limitations and run freely. Spirit or Medicine Horses were and are extremely helpful in guidance, healing, protection and ceremony. Horse represents wisdom, physical power and unearthly power. Horse enables healers to travel in Spirit energy, using Horse to help guide them to the answer. Horse symbols can express our magical side. Horse is also known as a symbol of freedom and independence.

"I have again fallen under the spell of your site. This time, once again, I confirm your judgment. Hector Goodluck horses have the best of the “cute” shapes. For formal horses-that-pulled-Cinderella’s-coach shape, I would give the prize to Ben Livingston." MR

"Please let Corrine Ramirez know that her work is deeply appreciated. Many yrs. ago I resided in Scottsdale, AZ and lived near the Papago Indian Reservation and there were many intricate beaded pieces that I was privileged to own and wear. In the course of travel sad to say they were lost or stolen but were never forgotten and until I found your site. I never thought I would see those beautiful works of art. Many Thanks to All." - KG

"Just a quick note to let you know my necklace arrived today in perfect condition. I love it--it looks as pretty in person as it does on the internet! I saw another of Hector Goodluck's horse fetish necklaces on different website. It was very expensive and beyond my budget. Thanks again for the great service!
Best wishes to everyone there!" - LF
