Salvador Romero’s latest
found stone fetish carvings
Salvador Romero is a pre-eminent carver in Cochiti Pueblo. He scours the pueblo grounds for natural stones that promise to be housing animal spirits. These stones arrive on the pueblo in flowing rivers and sheet flows from the surrounding snow melt. In Salvador's hands, the inner animal emerges.

This raven fetish carving is one of Salvador Romero’s latest releases. It was “released” from the stone that held its spirit.
Soon it will find a home in some collector’s “aviary”. It is sleek and dark like the life-size bird it emulates.
The stone was found by Salvador Romero on the ground near his Cochiti Pueblo home. These stones are often washed down from melting snow in the mountains and transported by spring rains to lower elevations.
This elegant bird is 2” high by 6” long by 3/4” deep #CS702
