Waldo Davis is a skilled Zuni Pueblo fetish carver known for creating detailed animal carvings from materials like white marble, fluorite, and picasso marble. His works include bears, foxes, badgers, and pigs, often sold through galleries specializing in Native American art.

A “bear fishing” fetish depicts a bear holding or catching a fish, a popular theme in Zuni carvings. It combines the bearguardian of the West, symbolizing strength, healing, protection, and introspectionwith the fish, which may represent abundance or life’s flow. These narrative-style fetishes show animals in action and are common among Zuni artists.
