Hand carved by Zuni Pueblo artist Garrick Acque, this bear figure was carefully crafted from Picasso Marble. A highly respected animal and seen as a symbol of strength, this bear is a beautiful representation of an ancient art.

Fetishes are small carvings that depict animals or other important Native icons. Many tribes and Pueblos of the Southwest are known for making fetishes, but this ancient art form is most closely associated with the Zuni, who are considered the most skilled fetish carvers. Early Zuni fetishes were called "Ahlashiwe" or stone ancients. Traditionally, they depict wolves, bears, mountain lions, eagles, frogs, rabbits, fish, corn maiden, and other animals.

2-3/4" long and 1-1/2" wide, stands 2-1/8" tall . Comes with certificate of authenticity.
