For your consideration is a Vintage Puebloan Fetish Necklaces Collection, (4). Navajo Diné Elle Peter created the large Sterling Silver Kokopelli Flute Player pendant necklace featuring three sawtooth bezel mounted Sleeping Beauty turquoise cabochons. Ella is a master silversmith from New Mexico, hallmark and sterling are stamped on the reverse. For the Navajo (Diné), Kokopelli, often seen in Southwest rock art, is viewed as a revered figure, sometimes a Rain Priest or God of Harvest, associated with fertility, music, and good fortune, though some sources note the term is borrowed, and his meaning varies by tribe, representing a spirit of joy and prosperity who brings spring with his flute music. While other cultures see him as a fertility god carrying seeds or babies, the Navajo connect him with the spirit of music and abundance, sometimes associating his hump with clouds of seeds and rainbows. The vintage silver Hopi Kokopolo Katsina is depicted ithyphallic (depicted with an erect phallus) to explicitly symbolize his role as a fertility deity. Two Zuni fetish necklaces include an inlay bear fetish necklace with a toggle clasp strand and a Zuni buffalo kachina liquid silver and turquoise seed bead necklace. A Zuni bear fetish necklace symbolizes strength, healing, protection, and introspection, as the bear is revered by the Zuni people as the powerful guardian of the West. These necklaces, featuring hand-carved animals, often represent the spirit within the stone, promoting courage, self-knowledge, and emotional stability. A Zuni buffalo kachina necklace symbolizes strength, endurance, and spiritual protection, often worn to honor the animal's role as a provider. It represents the ability to overcome challenges, personal growth, and, when featuring the Buffalo Dancer, a prayer for abundance, food, and rain. All four necklaces are in very nicely preserved condition, no marring noted.
