    Description

    This lovely turquoise fetish bowl was hand crafted in the style of Native American legend Edna Leki, credited as the first female fetish carver. She was a daughter of famed carver & lapidarist Teddy Weahkee, and mother of Lena Boone, Dinah Gasper, and Anderson Weahkee. Edna Leki passed away in 2003 and some of her work is on display at the Kennedy Museum of Art, but otherwise hard to find. The 1.5" tall bowl has four fetishes attached and two small fetishes inside.
