Book Synopsis A Guide to Zuni Fetishes and Carvings: The animals and the carvers by : Kent McManis
Book excerpt: How Can Fetishes Help Us in our daily lives? What does the bear represent? The frog? The wolf? What powers do they contain? Noted Indian trader Kent McManis explains the different types of fetishes with special emphasis on the two major traditional types: the protective/healing group and the hunting group. He also has included dozens of new carvings to update the latest generation of artists coming into the field. Also provided are family trees for the more prominent families, along with more than two hundred fetishes in full color.
