     Jane Quam is a 6 Directional "specialist" These pieces are wonderfully designed and carved. To the Zuni Indian, there are six cardinal directions.

The fetishes of the six directions are animals of prey and are as follows:

* North -----------Mountain Lion (yellow)
* West ------------Bear (black or blue
* South -----------Badger (red)
* East ------------Wolf (white)
