Andres Quandelacy

Andres Quandelacy is the most prolific of the large Quandelacy carving family. When not working at cattle ranching, he is always seen at his carving bench. Andres carves very sleek mountain lions, bears (some with finely-incised fur), realistic horses and numerous other beautiful creatures. Most have heart lines on only one side of the fetish. Andres' fetish necklaces are among the most sought-after of the family.Fetishes and Their Meanings...
