Description

  • This is a pair of hand carved Bear Fetishes. The bodies of the Bears are made from Picasso Marble with Turquoise eyes. The walking pair are attached by gifts of white shells and two green Turquoise nuggets.

  • The fetish pair measures approximately 1 3/4 inch long by 7/8 inch wide at the longest and widest points. The Bears are approximately 1 inch tall. Total weight of the piece is 52.7 grams.

  • The Bear fetish is the Guardian of the West and has the power to heal and transform human passions into true wisdom. Zuni believe that Bear is invaluable whenever one is faced with change and transition and that it can be an ally when attempting to resolve conflict, forgive oneself or others for errors of the past.

  • Zuni fetishes are hand-carved objects, which represent the spirits of animals or the forces of nature. The earliest fetishes are called Ahlashiwe or stone ancients by thee Zunis. They were naturally formed stones that seemed to resemble people or animals, sometimes made more realistic with the features accentuated by a carver. Zunis believe that animals, as well as inanimate objects and the forces of nature, have a spirit force. It is believed that the carved animal fetishes host that spiritual force and, if treated properly, will help their owners to overcome the problems facing them. Ceremonial fetishes are often tied with offerings of stones, shell, or feathers and are "fed" with corn pollen or other foods as an offering to the spirit of the fetish.
