Additional Info

Among the material Zuni carvers create fetish carvings out of, one of the most curious is tagua nut.

Tagua is another term for the ivory palm, so called because the seeds of these trees, when dried, resemble and carve with the same characteristics as elephant ivory. When taqua nuts are carved, no elephants are injured.
