Zuni Pueblo is one of the 19 New Mexico
pueblo tribes. It is located in western New Mexico near the
Arizona border.
Zuni is known for its use of large turquoise
stones in silver and turquoise jewelry, fetishes carved from
various semiprecious stones, and pottery. Zuni also has kachina
dolls like the Hopi. They are similar to Hopi dolls except
they depict Zuni kachinas, including the Zuni Shalako, which
are slightly different than Hopi kachinas. Contemporary Zuni
art includes paintings, beadwork and sculpture.
