Wee-kot-ee

This beautiful bear is shaped from fishrock, a stone admired for its soft, earthy tones and subtle natural patterning. The warm shades of sand, cream, and light brown give the piece a grounded, organic feel, echoing the landscapes of the Southwest.

Its turquoise eyes provide a vibrant contrast to the neutral stone, bringing life and spirit to the carving. The bright blue stands out against the warm tan body, symbolizing protection, strength, and clarity.

Smoothly polished and thoughtfully proportioned, the bear’s solid stance reflects power and stability. In Zuni tradition, the bear is often associated with healing, guardianship, and inner strength — making this piece not only visually striking but deeply meaningful.

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.
