$850.00

Up for your consideration is a vintage Zuni fetish jar by Edna Leki.

Zuni fetish carver Edna Leki (c. 1924 - 2003) was known as the first female fetish carver in Zuni. Edna\'s father was Teddy Weahkee, who was also her teacher.

Anthropologist Ruth Kirk stated that fetish jars have been used in this century to house the ceremonially used fetishes in Kivas. There were apparently different types of fetish jars but they were all originally pots used for other purposes (water, storage, serving), which were converted to hold fetishes. Ceremonial jars have a feeding hole, which allows cornmeal to be placed in the jar to feed the fetishes. These fetish jars were often covered in small chips of turquoise.

Up for your consideration in this sale is a great Fetish Jar or Pot measures 6 1/2 inches In diameter with a 4 3/4 inch top rim by 5 inches tall. The jar has been dated to the late 1940\'s. It is in great condition with all original materials. It features 8 large fetishes which are tied on and three which are inside with the ceremonial meal. I Try not to handle it much due to the loss it can cause to the outside texture of turquoise chips. The fetishanimals are nice an largewith each animal having a very detailed bundle attached to its back consisting of mother of pearl arrowheads and small pieces of turquoise and coral and beads tied on with leather, all of which have aged beautifully.This pot is in wonderful condition with the only damage I can\'t see is one of the three Ceremonial Wolffetishes has it\'s tail broken off as shown in one of the pictures of them lying in my hand. And also when handled some of the outside texture tends to come off, but other than that this pot is in fabulous vintage condition!

This pot was purchased by a good friend of mine at Bryans Gallery in Taos New Mexico in 1985
