Douglas Martza, Fetish, Turtles, Multi-Stone, Zuni Hand-Carved, 1 1/4"

Description

This Zuni hand-carved Turtles Fetish by Douglas Martza is sculpted from natural antler, showcasing soft ivory tones and subtle organic texture throughout the piece. The two turtles are thoughtfully positioned together, their detailed shells and gently extended heads conveying harmony and companionship. Each turtle features inlaid Sleeping Beauty Turquoise eyes, adding a vibrant pop of blue that contrasts beautifully with the creamy antler. In Zuni tradition, turtles symbolize longevity, protection, and a strong connection to the earth and water. Carefully carved and smoothly finished, this piece reflects Martza’s skilled craftsmanship and the enduring beauty of Zuni carving artistry.
