Vintage Zuni Horse Fetish Heishi Necklace
This Vintage Zuni Horse Fetish Heishi Necklace was handmade by the great, Ellen Quandelacy....and you couldn't ask for anything better than this! Honoring the animal, who brought power to the People, she used a variety of materials which includes genuine Turquoise, along with Jasper, Marble, Agate and Jet. It's a wonderful assortment, and a 2-1/4" by 1-1/8" Turquoise horse at the center is complemented by the herd of smaller animals. Each is spaced with 2mm-3mm heishi, both shell and Turquoise in a gorgeous traditional display. Each end is finished with a Sterling cone and bench bead with a squaw wrap, so you can slip this over your head. It's about 28" long with Ellen's hallmark tag, and in original, very good, used condition. A traditional and historic addition to your neckline, this fabulous, Vintage Zuni Horse Fetish Heishi Necklace is one of a kind!
Ellen (1924-2002) became active in the 1940's. She was the daughter of, and was taught by her father, the famous Johnny Quam. She was the sister of Annie Quam Gasper, and she taught all of her ten children to carve. She is referenced in Bell's "Zuni: The Art and The People Vol II", Hougart's "Native American and Southwestern Silver Hallmarks", Wright's "Hallmarks of the Southwest", just to name a few.
