Zunifetishes.com is know owned by Daniel Hise. I maintained the web site for Jim Ostler since 1998 and have come to know the art form of Zuni Fetishes.

All fetish carvings presented by zunifetishes.com have come from Zuni Pueblo. Zunis are an agricultural people who have adapted to the desert Southwest and are renowned for their elaborate ceremonies, their kachina dances, their jewelry, and their fetish carvings.

All the fetish carvings with the number 82802 currently on the site have been selected by Jim Ostler, who lived in Zuni from l984 to l996. He knew most of the carvers, their families, and their work and is the co-author of the book The Fetish Carvers of Zuni published by the Maxwell Museum, University of New Mexico. All other number groups were selected by Daniel Hise, the current owner.

All carvings carry the artist's name, the name of the material and the name of the object. All the carvings have been selected for their polish, their fit and their artistry.
