Zuni fetishes from the 2009 World Art Bazaar

In six weeks you can see the booty Academy Shop Manager Kathee Hoover acquired during her annual month-long summer buying trip for the World Art Bazaar. As usual her keen eye picked out a souk-full of available-nowhere-else-in-Hawai’i items, from Indian costume jewelry fit for a Bollywood production to Zuni fetishes—tiny carvings of semiprecious stones by Zuni Indians, pictured above actual size. Turquoise bear by Lena Boone ($45), jet corn maiden by Amos Poocha, malachite frog by Bremette Epaloose ($47). Talk about the perfect stocking stuffers. Photo by Shuzo Uemoto.
