Jayne Quam Fetish Carvings - Page two

Jayne Quam, Navajo/Zuni Carver
Jayne Quam is a Navajo woman who is married to a Zuni man, Lynn Quam, a fetish carver of high repute himself.Jayne and Lynn live with their children at the Zuni Pueblo. Jayne is well known for her "loving pairs" of wolves, bears and other creatures, and her six directions sets. We are honored to have been guests in the Quams' home here we have purchased carvings by both Jayne Quam and Lynn Quam. (There is always some controversy in describing the tribal standing of an artist who marries a spouse from another tribe. We prefer to identify Jayne both by her birth tribe and her "adopted" tribe, techniques from which she has adapted skillfully.
