A sitting bear carved from multicolored sulfite rests in a calm, grounded pose, its body rounded and smooth, capturing both the strength and gentle presence of the animal. The stone’s natural colors—shades of blue, green, yellow, and red—flow together in swirling patterns across the bear’s form, giving it a lively, almost painterly appearance. Set into its face are bright turquoise eyes, their vivid blue hue standing out strikingly against the multicolored sulfite, adding a spark of life and watchfulness. The combination of the vibrant, earthy tones and the luminous turquoise eyes creates a piece that is both visually dynamic and full of spirit, evoking a sense of vitality, strength, and natural harmony.

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.
