<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 400444, member: 5833"]No, no, no. Don't just sell it off as a hunk of turquoise matrix. I know only a little about Zuni fetishes, although I own a collection's worth of them. Think this is what is considered 'old style', where minimal change is made to the natural shape of the rock to bring out the suggestion of an animal. I don't follow that market anymore, but when I was last actively buying, only some elders were working in this style. It is worth knowing more about.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
