Freddie Leekya, Fetish, Beaver, Multi-Stone, Zuni Hand-Carved, 3"

This Zuni hand-carved Beaver Fetish by Freddie Leekya is sculpted from warm-toned travertine, highlighting natural variations of soft beige, gray, and earthy rust hues. The upright figure is thoughtfully detailed, holding a carved wooden stick, symbolizing the beaver’s industrious spirit and dedication to building and perseverance. Inlaid accents of Sleeping Beauty Turquoise form the eyes, while Jet and luminous Mother of Pearl create striking contrasts within the facial features. The smooth polish and balanced form reflect Leekya’s distinctive carving style and mastery of blending multiple natural materials. Representing diligence, resourcefulness, and determination, this piece beautifully honors both the beaver’s symbolism and the enduring tradition of Zuni craftsmanship.
