Lewis Malie, Fetish, Horse, Antler, Turquoise, Zuni, 2 1/2"

This Zuni hand-carved fetish by Lewis Malie depicts a spirited horse skillfully carved from natural antler. The horse is captured in a dramatic rearing pose with raised front legs, a flowing mane and tail, and carefully carved details that create a strong sense of movement. Turquoise inlay accents the eye, while additional pieces of turquoise along the base add vibrant color against the antler’s warm cream and brown tones. The natural antler base complements the sculpture and provides a sturdy foundation for the horse’s dynamic upright form. A distinctive example of Zuni craftsmanship, this antler and turquoise horse fetish makes a striking addition to a Native American art or fetish collection.
