Native American Zuni Bear Fetish Signed Hand Carved

Jewelry : Artisan : Charms

 

This is a very cute little bear fetish , which was carved by Zuni Native American "Ed Yastatie". I was over in Zuni just last week, and bought this from him. Actually he had about 5 different, but alas, did not have the extra money to spend last week. This bear which the Zuni believe represents strength, introspection and the spiritual journey through life, is carved out of Ricolite, which is pretty much a new mineral which the Zuni have just started using. It is small, measuring about 1-1/4'' long overall and stands about 1/2'' tall and is about 3/8'' wide. Signed on the bottom of the feet, E. and on the other two feet Y. Thanks for your interest in this most amazing little Zuni Bear Fetish
