Butterfly Zuni Fetish Carving by Fitz Kiyite SWT-FSH-0041 AG Art & Sculpture reflecting cultural depthThis Butterfly Zuni fetish carving by Fitz Kiyite is carved from pale stone with wings spread wide in a clean, symmetrical silhouette. Delicate engraved wing veins and small turquoise inlays along the edges add subtle detail without distracting from the graceful shape. The body is carved in gentle relief, giving the piece a balanced, airy appearance. Butterfly fetishes are traditionally associated with transformation, beauty, and positive change.
