Zuni arts

Zuni arts refer to the traditional and contemporary crafts and artwork of the Zuni people, a Native American tribe from the southwestern United States. Renowned for their exquisite jewelry, especially intricate turquoise and shell inlays, Zuni artisans also create pottery, fetish carvings (small stone sculptures of animals), and silverwork. Their art often holds cultural, spiritual, and ceremonial significance, reflecting their connection to nature and traditions. Zuni craftsmanship is distinguished by fine detail, symbolism, and the skill passed down through generations, making their works highly valued and recognized within Native American art.
