Jeff
Shetima produces original and inspired carvings
That led to the Bronze casting you see here.
I know of no other Zuni Fetish Bronze Casting.
We are at
a turning point in Zuni carving,
the quality of tools available to carvers
brings us to an era where visions
readily appear

In late 1999, Jeff handed me this bear.
It was 1 of several Jeff carved
a candidate for
casting.
The
artists at the foundry
captured Jeff's Bear perfectly in Bronze.
Jeff then
takes the cast Bears and gives them
turquoise eyes,
signs and numbers each bear.
