This beautifully hand-carved Zuni otter fetish by Brandon Phillips captures the tender bond between a mother and baby otter. Crafted from cedar, the mother otter, holding her baby made from quartz, measures 3" long, 3/4" wide, and 3/4" tall. The mother's tail is inlaid with a striking combination of jet, amber, and azurite, adding vibrant colors and intricate detailing. In Zuni culture, the otter symbolizes playfulness, curiosity, and adaptability, making this unique fetish a perfect reflection of those qualities. Brandon Phillips' craftsmanship and use of diverse materials make this piece a treasured addition to any collection of Native American art.
