Andres's smooth shaping highlights the bear’s powerful body — rounded shoulders, sturdy legs, and a gentle curvature along its back. Its black eyes are small and striking, giving the bear a focused, steady expression. Running along its side is a vibrant coral heartline, a bold red streak symbolizing life, breath, and spiritual strength. The contrast of the coral against the turquoise creates a beautiful balance of color and meaning. Strong, traditional, and full of spirit, this turquoise bear carries both cultural symbolism and natural beauty in every detail.

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.
