Jayne & Lynn Quam
Lynn Quam is a well known Zuni carver known for buffalo fetishes made from high quality, unusual stones. Lynn adorns his buffalo with horns made of fossilized ivory or turquoise. He often inlays the Zuni Sunface symbol on one or both sides of his carvings. Lynn lives at Zuni Pueblo with his wife, Jayne Quam, a Navajo fetish carver, who specializes in fetishes with intricate multi-stone inlay and bundled wolf-pairs. Jayne & Lynn often collaborate creating unique pieces that combine both carver's distinctive inlay styles, Lynn's on one side and Jayne's on the other.
