A momma bear and papa bear, both lovingly hand-carved out of beautiful augite. Augite, for those who don't know, is a dark-green to black mineral that's known for its smooth and glossy appearance. These two majestic bears are just oozing with personality and charm! And if that wasn't enough to capture your attention, right next to them sits an adorable cub carved out of vibrant spiny oyster shell. The natural orange hue of the shell creates a striking contrast against the deep greenish-black of the augite bears. 

Bear (Anshe): Bear was the principal animal for the Pueblo People and they are the most prevalent subject of Zuni fetishes. Bear fetishes are used for healing, protection, strength, journeying, mothering, hunting and gathering. Bear‚ hibernation reminds us of the value of going within.
