Stewart Quandelacy Antler "Ugly Monster" Fetish Frog Fetish Bears are associated with strengthVery Unique and rare "Ugly Monster" carving by legendary Zuni artist Stewart Quandelacy. This cool monster is Hand Carved from a large elk antler (no elk was harmed in making this Monster as they naturally shed their antlers each fall) with turquoise inlaid eyes, a red coral tongue and a brush mane. If you look in Kent McManis's book "Zuni Fetish Carvers of the 1970s" on page 85 you'll see a great photo of another "Ugly Monster" that Stewart carved
