Lena Boone is one
of the most prominent and prolific fetish carvers at Zuni.
She is the grand-daughter of the legendary Teddy Weahkee and
the daughter of Edna Leki, both of whose talent clearly has
been passed on to Lena. She lives in a modest home on the
Zuni Pueblo and is very hospitable to visitors. Beyond her
extraordinary skills and artistry, Lena brings a huge sense
of humanity to everything she does. In addition to her daughter,
Evalena, and her son, Leland, both of whom are accomplished
and growing carvers, Lena has provided shelter, comfort and
guidance to numerous Zuni children. We are privileged to know
Lena and to present her work here. (Additional carvings by
Lena Boone can be found in other sections of the fetish pages)."
