Zuni Tribal Arts and Crafts

Zuni Tribal Arts and Crafts refer to the traditional and contemporary artistic expressions of the Zuni people, a Native American tribe from New Mexico. Their crafts often include intricate jewelry, especially silver and turquoise pieces, as well as detailed pottery, feathers, shell carvings, and stone carvings. These arts are deeply rooted in cultural symbolism, spiritual practices, and storytelling, reflecting their history, beliefs, and environment. Zuni artisans blend skill and artistry to produce pieces valued for their beauty, craftsmanship, and cultural significance, often used in ceremonies, as trade items, or collected for their artistry.
