Georgianna Quandelacy Two-Strand Carved Animal MOP & Multi-Stone Fetish Necklace

Zuni Fetish necklaces are a fundamental art form for the Zuni tribe. Fetishes are hand carved figurines, often of animals, that hold special symbolic significance for the Zuni people. This stunning Georgianna Quandelacy two-strand fetish necklace features animals meticulously hand-carved from luminous Mother of Pearl. Many of the carvings are further embellished with delicate Sunface inlay of Turquoise, Coral, Onyx, and Agate, adding vibrant detail to each figure. Between the fetishes, you'll find a striking arrangement of Turquoise and Agate heishi beads, accented with exquisitely hand-carved Oxblood Coral tube beads. The necklace is elegantly finished with traditional Sterling Silver cones and a secure hook-and-eye clasp. A true work of art, this piece showcases exceptional craftsmanship and natural beauty. Georgianna Quandelacy is noted for her animals with multicolor heartlines and sunface inlay. Her moles are important for any small six-directional set. Her necklaces with sunface inlays on all the carvings are quite attractive.
