Il soggetto principale sono i diversi esemplari di animali, seguendo la tradizione indiana dei feticci.
Esplora altri gioielli Zuni proposti da Ethnica.
I feticci, chiamati wemawe e tipici delle genti native Zuni, Pueblo e Navajo, sono considerati il tramite tra gli uomini e le forze soprannaturali. La credenza vuole che negli animali intagliati vi siano i loro stessi spiriti, ai quali spettano specifiche caratteristiche.
Vengono utilizzati per gli scopi più diversi, dal propiziare la caccia al curare durante le cerimonie, sono protezioni per gli individui e per le comunità in cui vivono e possono avere proprietà sia pratiche che spirituali.
Le pietre utilizzate per creare questa bellissima collana sono Crisocolla multicolor, Turchese, differenti varietà di Diaspro, Caitlinite (argilla metamorfica utilizzata dagli indiani per ricavare i fornelli delle loro pipe sacre), Giaietto (un mineraloide di origine vegetale comunemente chiamato legno fossile), Madreperla, conchiglia Spiney Oyster.
Gran parte della collana è composta dall’insieme dei feticci mentre la parte posteriore è formata da piccole rondelline in conchiglia, il che rende il tutto molto lineare ed elegante, compresa la semplice chiusura in argento.
