Mart-za

This handsomely carved Dolomite standing bear fashions his beautiful wear of turquoise and silver. Showing quite a fashion although miraculously out to protect. The use of dolomite gives it a unique touch, adding an earthy and natural feel to the piece.  

Bear(Anshe) 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's hibernation reminds us of the value of going within.
