The Gasper Zuni Fetish Page

This page is devoted to the Zuni fetish carvings of the Gasper family: Peter Gasper (dec),
Dinah Gasper, daughter Debra Tsethlikai and her husband Ray Tsethlikai.

The Gaspers live on Zuni pueblo, next door to Dinah's sister, Lena Boone. We have been guests
in their home and are grateful both for their work and for their hospitality. It is
a high spot of our Zuni visits that we are able to see them and enjoy their company.

Dinah is the daugher of Edna Leki and the grand-daughter of Teddy Weahkee. Pete Sr. and
Dinah were considered to be the first carvers at Zuni to inlay heartlines in their carvings.
They also pioneered the use of a silver inlay button that serves as their hallmark. Pete
studied painting in Santa Fe. After marrying Dinah they returned to Zuni and resumed
the carving that had been such important part of Dinah's childhood.

Today, carvings are done by Debra and Ray as well as by Dinah and Pete's sons, Elroy and Pete Jr.
