Zuni Indian Sam Delena Fetish Necklace
Three strands of bird fetishes carved by Zuni Indian artist Sam Delena, circa 1970s. Sixty-one birds and one bear are carved from serpentine, mother of pearl shell and abalone, with Santo Domingo Pueblo heishe.

Sam Delena was featured in Oscar Branson's book on fetishes back in the 1970s. We used to sell his necklaces then too.

There is only one bird missing his head, the rest are fine.

This is a pretty necklace with soft natural color by a past master!

Overall length is 32", with silver cones.

Buyer pays $12.00 for shipping and insurance.
