Rhoda Quam Zuni Fetish Carvings

Rhoda Quam is Lynn Quam’s sister. Both Lynn and Rhoda Quam learned their art as children
from their (award winning jeweler and carver) mother, Annie Gasper.

Rhoda worked closely with Annie before she passed away in 2002 and carrie on her mother’s carving tradition.

Rhoda’s attention to detail, her eye for finding magic in stone and her carving excellence put Rhoda among the top fetish carvers / artists in the  Zuni Pueblo.  The Quam family and the Quandelacy family are neighbors, friends and family.

Rhoda learned to carve Corn Maidens from Faye Quandelacy, the creator of Zuni Corn Maiden carvings. Frankly, it is difficult to tell a Rhoda Corn Maiden from one carved by Faye… which is a compliment of the highest order.

The carvings you see below are done extremely well and I doubt you (or me)  will find others this beautiful.
The Rhoda fetishes you see below are made from all natural materials and are IMHO a collector’s essential.
