Description

  • This is a beautiful hand carved Zuni Bear Fetish with Gifts. The Bear is carved from marble with turquoise inlay eyes. Gifts include a feather, Jet, Coral and a Turquoise Nugget. The underside of the Bear is marked by the Zuni Artist.

  • The Bear Fetish measures 7/8 inch tall by approximately 1 1/4 from nose to tail with a total weight of 12.8 grams.

  • The Bear 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 the Zunis. They were naturally formed stones that seemeed 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.
