Description
Carved entirely from Picasso marble and containing beautiful details, this large bear fetish was created by Navajo artist Stewart Alonzo. The marble piece showcases lovely color variation from brown to black to grey with striations all along the body of the bear, which also features a turquoise inlaid heartline and medicine bundle containing a golden mother of pearl arrowhead, turquoise piece and coral piece. The bears eyes are also inlaid with turquoise, while its head curves slightly to one side. In many Native American cultures, the bear symbolizes courage, physical strength and leadership. 2 1/4″ tall x 1 3/8″ wide x 4″ deep.
