Description: Offered byAntique American Indian Art, llc--- AAIA--- Zuni Bison Fetish by Lynn Quam; Dolomite NOTE: there are two little round dots on the left read haunch which are dings (obtained in battle with another bison ;-) ) I've lowered price a bit due to this. 2.25" tall x 4.5" length LYNN QUAM is a well known Zuni carver mostly of buffalo or bison fetishes made from malachite, turquoise, wild horse marble and picasso marble. Lynn adorns his attractive buffalo with horns sometimes made of fossilized ivory and turquoise. Lynn's mother, Annie Gasper Quam, was a well known jeweler and fetish carver who died in 2001. His aunt, Ellen Quandalacey, was the matriarch of the well known Quandalacey carving siblings. Lynn lives at Zuni Pueblo with his wife, Jayne Quam, who is a Navajo fetish carver. Buffalo is a provider to all symbolizing abundance and manifestation. Buffalo demonstrates that with positive energy at the forefront - we can overcome all obstacles.Artist: Lynn Quam (signed).--- American Indians have used fetishes throughout recorded history. Fetishes are believed to hold magical powers and protect the owner or craftsmen from various problems of mind or body. Some believe that their mystical powers can even protect against problems of the universe. It is also believed that the care a fetish receives is directly proportional to the protection it will provide. Indians believe that fetishes must be properly cared for. They are given offerings of cornmeal and kept in special turquoise encrusted fetish pots or pouches. Often fetishes are adorned with turquoise, arrowheads and feathers. These are offerings to the fetish for gifts received or anticipated. 220729-12 Welcome to Matt Wood's Antique American Indian Art, llc (AAIA) eBay Listings.
