From the Back Cover

"Fully illustrated with the work of nearly 700 carvers—more than 900 fetishes in full color

"How can fetishes help us in our daily lives? What does the bear represent? The frog? The eagle? What makes a fetish ‘speak' to a collector? These tiny, exquisite ‘charm stones' are some of the most popular Native American art in North America. In this recently combined edition, noted dealer in Native American art Kent McManis answers all these questions and many more. He presents a range of fetish carving styles, describes the materials that Zuni artists carve today and introduces many skilled carvers—both acknowledged masters and newcomers to the craft, including updated family trees. Zuni Fetishes and Carvings offers the best general reference on the subject ever available for collectors."
