Spanish term

...siendo la principal uno de con sus fetiches favoritos: la pipa...

Spanish to English Other Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting Exhibition of Fernando Bellver
Completa la exposición una serie de esculturas de pequeño formato, siendo la principal uno de con sus fetiches favoritos: la pipa, inseparable chimenea.

I'm wondering if there's a word missing? Can't quite get it. Any help anyone out there?

Yes, the correct phrase could also be "siendo la principal unA de sus fetiches", that is, "una escultura de sus fetiches".

thank you Thanks. I thought I was going mad and maybe I really didn't understand anything! Glad to have had your feedback - it's invaluable at this time of night. Thanks again.
glaster Apr 16, 2007:
looks like an editing error, the word "con" seems to be there by mistake.
Gerardo Noriega Rivero Apr 16, 2007:
Tamara, being a Spanish native speaker, I guess the text should say "siendo la principal unA con sus fetiches...", without the preposition "de", which I think is a typo

...the main one being one of his favourite vices: the pipe

"fetish" in modern English is hardly used and normally refers to something sexual, vice is much more common for bad habits, addictions etc.

...the main one being one of his favorite fetishes: the pipe

Either "de" or "con" are there by mistake.

After Katarina's comment it becomes clear to me that my first proposal could be the right one.
Peer comment(s):

agree Katarina Peters : it's the "con" that shouldn't be there...
