The large, red Leekya Deyuse fetish on the left was given to Sedonawolf by
Francis Leekya prior to his death. Francis received it from his father,
Leekya Deyuse, when he was a child (1930's or 1940's). It was used
in many rituals and blessed by Medicine Men many times.
The white fawn
fetish next to it is on this necklace.
This necklace is clearly the work of Leekya.

This
rare Leekya Deyuse Necklace contains 39 fetishes.
Some appear to me to be just stones or shells.
Of the 39 fetishes, 27 I can identify.
They include bears, Frogs, Fawn, Rabbit, Serpent,
Horse, Mole, Foot, Hand, Leaf, Wolf, Ram,
Arrowhead, and Birds.
They range in size from 1/2" to 1 5/8"
I believe the Heishe is Tortoise Shell
It appears to have been strung on Sinew.
I
believe that this was a Ceremonial piece.
It was Zuni owned and worn.
