About the Item

A rare, museum-level Zuni fetish necklace featuring dozens of hand-carved shell birds, strung with natural branch red coral and fine heishi beads, all elegantly mounted on sterling silver wire. Each bird fetish is individually carved with lifelike wings and tiny red inlaid eyes—an artistry passed down in Zuni families for generations. The necklace drapes in multiple strands, creating movement and soft, fluttering rhythm as it catches the light. This piece embodies the spirit of Zuni tradition: birds symbolizing freedom, protection, and the messenger between worlds. A wearable collection of miniature carvings, balancing Southwestern heritage with sculptural beauty. Perfect for collectors seeking an authentic Native American adornment with soul, craftsmanship, and undeniable presence.
