Why this Rocks:

This beautifully carved and etched Picasso Marble Animal Necklace is hand-crafted by Native American Zuni artist Sammy Smith.

Zuni fetishes are small carvings made from primarily stone but also shell, fossil, and other materials by the Zuni people. Within the Zuni community, these carvings serve ceremonial purposes for their creators and depict animals and icons integral to their culture.

This necklace combines these meaningful carvings into a wearable piece.

Measurements:

The length of the full extended necklace measures approx. 28 1/2″.

The beads each measure approx. 2mm x 3mm.

Each zuni fetish animal is less than an inch long, size varies among animals.
