Claudia Peina is a Zuni fetish carver who carries forward the creative and original legacy of her family of artists who carve elk antler.

Claudia is known for the dexterity of her carving, the degree of polish and intricacy of designed inlays with turquoise, coral and jet on her figures, often of different kinds of maidens, angels and a series of “Good News Bears” and “Dancing Bears”.
