Group of Three Native American Style Stone Animal Fetishes

A collection of three small hand-carved stone animal fetishes, likely of Zuni or broader Southwest Native American origin. The group features a prominent bear carved from banded onyx or calcite, showcasing horizontal cream and beige striations with a distinctive vertical orange ferruginous staining. The second piece is a small blue bird, possibly representing a mountain bluejay, carved from lapis lazuli with visible pyrite inclusions and deep ultramarine hues. The third figure is an elongated vertical piece carved from white marble or shell featuring turquoise and coral colored inlay spots, possibly representing a standing figure or animal spirit. All three items appear to be in good vintage condition, exhibiting smooth, polished surfaces and fine detailing in the anatomical features. The bear carving is approximately 2 to 3 inches in length. No maker's marks are immediately visible, which is common for traditional fetish carvings. They likely date to the late 20th century to modern era, exhibiting the fine craftsmanship and lapidary skill characteristic of professional indigenous artisans. The materials used—lapis lazuli, banded onyx, and shell/turquoise inlay—are classic choices for Southwest folk art, often used to symbolize various spiritual protections or qualities.
