The previous owner of this fetish necklace owned a shop selling Native American items a number of years ago.  She selected the best fetishes from particular carvers whose work she admired and set them aside until she had accumulated enough to have one of the artisans string them into this necklace.  There are 65 fetishes from a variety of stones and shells and 32 fetishes from turquoise.  All of the turquoise fetishes were strung on a single strand and the other fetishes divided among two strands.  The hieshe is shell.  The three strands are grouped together with the traditional pueblo wrap.
