Zuni 1970s Carved Multi-Stone 30" Stacked Animal Fetish Necklace - This beautiful vintage Zuni animal fetish necklace is comprised of hand carved animals using real stones and shell such as turquoise, mother of pearl, black jet, serpentine, lapis, spiny oyster, and others.

They eventually went into the gold jewelry business and have kept these pieces in their private collection for over 40 years. Measurements: 30" length. Condition: Overall excellent vintage condition with minimal signs of wear.
