Zuni crafts

Zuni crafts are traditional art forms created by the Zuni people, a Native American tribe in New Mexico. They are renowned for their intricate jewelry, especially silverwork and turquoise pieces, as well as pottery, carvings, and weaving. Zuni artisans often use natural materials to create vibrant, detailed designs that reflect their cultural heritage and connection to nature. Notably, Zuni fetish carvings—small animals symbolizing various spiritual meanings—highlight their craftsmanship and storytelling. These crafts not only serve as beautiful artworks but also play an essential role in the preservation of Zuni traditions and identity.
