The unusual concept of a fetish is an object in the form of a living thing made of any material, usually attractive, but sometimes quite unattractive. In archaeological sites dating well over 1000 years, fetishes are being found that equal or surpass some of the best carvings being done today. All the tribes make and use them, especially the Zunis who have developed them to the greatest extent." Captioned full-page color photos.
