From a very high-quality private Zuni fetish estate collection. A great example by Rickson Kallestewa, 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.
