Zuni Pueblo Bear Fetish
by Rickson Kalestewa
Carved in hard alabaster, cream and pink-orange tones
3" long x 1 1/2" wide x 1 3/4" tall
From a very high-quality private Zuni fetish estate collection. A great example by Rickson Kalestewa, who has a very unique style of carving.
In Zuni culture, bears represent healing, protection, wisdom and strength. Known to dig up medicinal roots from the ground, bears are excellent healers and, with their size, make impressive protectors. Zuni Bear fetish carvings are commonly carved and are very traditional.
