AL Hallmark, Fetish, Maiden, Zebra Jasper, Zuni Hand Carved, 2 1/2"

This Zuni hand-carved maiden fetish is beautifully shaped from zebra jasper, its striking black-and-white striations symbolizing balance and harmony. The figure is delicately detailed, with finely incised patterns across her dress and traditional hairstyle rendered with care. Inlaid turquoise accents form a necklace, adding a vivid touch of color that contrasts elegantly with the stone’s natural tones. Her serene expression, with inlaid jet eyes and a coral-painted mouth, reflects themes of nurturing, beauty, and cultural pride. In Zuni tradition, maiden fetishes are often associated with fertility, protection, and the continuation of tradition. The smooth polish and organic texture of the jasper make this piece both visually captivating and comforting to hold.
