Zuni Fetish Wolf and Coyote

Zuni Fetish Wolf and Coyote

Coyote are tricksters. They hunt in packs and will often
 circle their prey and then start howling to confuse it.
Coyotes also have been known to imitate the
sounds of their prey to lure it closer.

Zuni fetish wolves are the Zuni Directional animal
 of the East. The proper color for a Zuni fetish Wolf
of the East is white. The Wolf is respected for
 their hunting skills and almost
human intelligence

Jane Quam is the wife
 of Lynn Quam.

Jayne Quam: Zuni Fetish Carver

Jayne Quam carves alongside her husband Lynn. Jayne Quam’s carvings are
 influenced by both Lynn Quam (who taught her to carve) and Annie Quam
(deceased) who was Jayne’s mother in law.

Annie Quam Gasper Turquoise Silver Bracelet / Circa 1960’s – 1970’s

Annie Quam (deceased) was a Zuni Pueblo jeweler whose complex designs and
perfect lapidary gained her many awards and world wide attention.

When Annie retired from jewelry, she pursued lapidary… stone fetish carvings
with beautiful inlay… ancient pictographs and petroglyphs… both Rhoda and
Jayne pursued this idea as well… the roots of which are pre-historic

Jayne Quam has let that vision develop into a beautiful, new, abstract art form…
where Rhoda weaves her visions into the very fabric of the stone.

Abstract inlay of turquoise, serpentine, azurite, Sugalite, lapis, malachite and shell

Ray Tsalate Zuni Fetish Carvings

Ray Tsalate
Zuni Fetish Carvings

 Ray Tsalate

Ray’s carvings are among the finest in Zuni. Ray began fetish carving in 2004.
He began as an apprentice to Troy Sice… Ray and Troy work together still. While there
is a wonderful similarity to their art… each carver’s fetishes are clearly their own.

Link to Troy Sice Bear and Corn Maiden Carvings

Early in Ray’s career he received a fellowship from the Wheelwright.. which Ray
 credits with helping him move his art forward. Ray’s gemstone Inlay is excellent.
It is consistent with that of the finest Southwest jewelry.

Ray favors uses natural gemstones.  Sleeping Beauty Turquoise, Deep Red Coral, Lapis,
Denim Lapis and Shell are often used. This is magnificent work by any standard.

Chattin Poblano Necklaces

Jovanna Poblano and Daniel Chattin
Zuni Fetish Necklaces

Daniel Chattin and Jovanna Poblano


Chattin and Poblano Zuni Fetish Necklaces

Daniel Chattin Zuni Fetish Carvings

Chattin Zuni Table Fetishes


Daniel Chattin and Jovanna Poblano, their jewelry is the highest quality. 

Daniel Chattin carves the fetishes… the designs are a Chattin Poblano collaboration.

Daniel learned from the Quandelacy family, in particular Stuart, Sandra and Faye.

However, there is a quality… a feeling to Daniel’s work that make them his own.

Beyond simply knowing how to carve stone on a grinding wheel, some Zuni carvers
turn craft into art. A true Zuni artist can see inside the stone… see what does
not appear on the surface… see what is under the stone’s surface.

Or, then again, maybe a Zuni can will the stone to the patterns and color he wishes.

Jovanna Poblano, Daniel’s wife, also designs and strings the necklaces.
She has a wonderful sense of fashion and her combinations of color is unsurpassed.
Veronica Poblano, Jovanna’s mother, is a famous Zuni jeweler in her own right.

Leo Poblano, Veronica’s father, was a Zuni Innovator. He was an early Zuni
stone carver / silversmith master. His work was highly regarded by CG Wallace.
Collector’s today eagerly greet Leo Poblano finds.
