The bear is one of the most revered animals in Zuni fetish tradition — a guardian of the West and a powerful symbol of healing, strength, and protection. This hand-carved fetish is rendered in richly patterned Picasso Marble, with a shell directional bundle tied to its back as a traditional offering to honor the animal's spirit. A beautifully grounded piece for collectors and those drawn to the protective energy of the bear.
