Ruben Najera, Fetish, Squirrel, Antler, Apple Sponge Coral, Zuni, 2"
Description
This Zuni hand-carved fetish by Ruben Najera depicts a charming squirrel skillfully carved from natural antler. The squirrel is playfully posed holding a beautifully detailed rose carved from vibrant Apple Sponge Coral, creating a striking contrast against the antler’s creamy natural tones. Delicate green accents form the rose’s stem and leaves, adding another colorful element to the whimsical composition. The figure stands upon a warm-toned cottonwood base, providing a natural foundation that complements the carving. A delightful example of Zuni craftsmanship, this antler and Apple Sponge Coral squirrel fetish makes a unique addition to a Native American art or fetish collection.
