Zuni rock is a local travertine found in and around Zuni tribal lands and the exact location is kept as a family secret. The Leekya family have been the sole users of this stone for carving Zuni fetishes. Hayes and his family carve in the style of grandfather Leekya Deyuse (d.) and father Francis Leekya (d.).


Sheep are very important to the Zuni People. The wool is necessary to survive the very cold environment of the 6000 plus foot elevation mark of the reservation. And mutton is an important part of the diet of the inhabitants and most families have a flock to tend.


The eyes of this rather rare fetish animal are inlaid of penshell and the carving is initialed HL Zuni on the bottom in typical Hayes fashion. This piece was originally purchased from Spiritworks in 2002.
