Cheryl Beyuka, Fetish, Ladybug, Leaf, Mother of Pearl, Zuni, 2 3/4"

This charming Zuni hand-carved creation by Cheryl Beyuka captures the delicate beauty of nature in the form of a ladybug resting upon a leaf. The leaf is skillfully carved from a luminous mother of pearl, its iridescent surface shimmering with soft rainbow hues as light plays across its veins. Perched atop, the ladybug is finely detailed in vibrant red with black spots, adding a delightful contrast to the pearly background. In Zuni symbolism, the ladybug is often associated with protection, good luck, and the promise of blessings, while the leaf represents growth and renewal. Beyuka’s craftsmanship showcases her ability to bring life and personality to even the smallest subjects. This piece is both playful and elegant, making it a treasured collectible or a thoughtful gift.
