Hubert,  created a unique and eye-catching piece with his serpentine bear carving featuring turquoise eyes. The use of serpentine rock adds a natural and earthy element to the artwork while the striking blue-green hue of the turquoise eyes brings a pop of color and contrast to the piece. Turquoise is known for its spiritual significance, symbolizing protection, wisdom, and good fortune. By incorporating this stone into his carving, Hubert has added depth and meaning to the bear carving.

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.
