Two bears carved from Petoskey stone stand side by side, their forms rounded and smooth, capturing the gentle strength and grounded presence of the animals. The natural patterns of the Petoskey stone—delicate fossilized coral textures in soft beige and gray tones—flow across their bodies, adding organic depth and subtle visual interest. Set into each bear’s face are bright turquoise eyes, their vivid blue hue creating a striking contrast against the earthy stone and lending the figures a lively, watchful expression. Placed together, the two bears convey a sense of companionship and balance, while the combination of Petoskey stone’s unique fossil patterns and the sparkling turquoise eyes makes the piece both earthy and vibrant. 

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.
