This exquisite 3-strand fetish necklace is by none other than Leekya Deyuse, the most sought-after of all Zuni fetish carvers. Leekya's carvings exude personality unlike any others. This necklace is strung with 35 of his handcarved birds - carved of turquoise, shell and coral. It also has two handcarved bears. Strung among the birds and bears are nuggets and rolls of natural turquoise along with tiny heishi and coral beads. This is truly a masterpiece. The necklace hangs 14 1/2", so it's a very wearable size. The center bear measures 1" x 1/2", and the bird measure from 3/4" to 1". The necklace slips over the head and stays tied with a Native wrap. One natural Cerrillos turquoise bead hangs from the wrap.
