The Zuni chameleon fetish by Ricson Kallestewa is a stunning representation of transformation, adaptability, and change, key traits associated with the chameleon in various cultural symbolisms, including Zuni beliefs. This exquisite piece is intricately carved from white alabaster, a stone known for its calming properties and purity. The chameleon is depicted holding a vessel adorned with the symbol for lightning and thunderstorms, powerful elements often linked to cleansing and renewal in Zuni culture. Measuring 1-3/8" wide, 2-1/4" long, and 1-1/4" tall, this fetish is not only a work of art but a spiritual symbol embodying the dynamic forces of nature. Signed "RK" and dated 2023 by the artisan, this unique piece is a contemporary yet deeply rooted expression of Zuni artistry and symbolism.
