Staley Natewa
Zuni Fetish Carvings
Staley Natewa passed in March of 2003.
Staley's
best Zuni fetish carvings carry a perfect cross hatch design that
is formed by deeply incised crossing lines that
form tiny diamonds.
Staley's lesser carvings are simply doted. However, even his more modest
fetishes are
very fine examples of the Zuni
Fetish Carvers art.

This Eagle was among the last fetishes that Staley carved.
He did not carve Eagles till late in his career. Eagles are very
difficult to carve well.
Notice the
complex incising. This took an infinite
amount of skill and patience.
