Turquoise heishi beads with carved turquoise horse fetishes centering a carved turquoise turtle.
The Zuni tribe is especially famous for their detailed stone work, with carved animal fetishes being the most ubiquitous. Since pre-Columbian times, their fetishes have been objects for luck, power, and protection. Legend has it that the animal spirit resides in each fetish.
The horses stand for protection and strength while the turtle is a totem of good fortune.
Materials: turquoise, 925 silver magnetic clasp
