Discover the captivating artistry of Zuni culture with this hand-carved raven fetish, expertly crafted by the talented artist Darrin Boone. This raven is carved from black onyx and has turquoise eyes. He also has a zuni sunface made from mother of pearl, jet, turquoise, and coral on his base. The Sunface is an ancient symbol in Zuni culture, where it represents the sacred Sun Father.

The raven can help us work through failure and short-comings by reminding us that anything we have the courage to face, we have the power to transform. Measuring 2 inches tall and 1 inch at the widest point, this raven fetish is a testament to the intricate craftsmanship of Zuni artists.
