Book Synopsis Native American Fetish Carvings of the Southwest by : Kay Whittle
Book excerpt: This book explores the magic and mystery behind the animal figures or fetishes skillfully carved by artists from the Southwestern Pueblos. Pictures and text highlight the impressive variety of forms, materials, and traditional and contemporary styles available to collectors along with a price guide to current market values. It also discusses the symbolic meanings associated with each one and explains how they are "borrowed" for use by members of non-Native American cultures.
