Boone & Quam

The choice of red and black marble shows depth and elegance to the bear's form, while the vibrant turquoise eyes provide an enchanting contrast. To further enhance its beauty, they have embellished the carving with exquisite spiny oyster shells, pieces of coral, and more turquoise accents. The combination of these materials creates a striking visual composition that is both visually appealing and culturally significant. It undoubtedly stands as a stunning representation of Boone & Quam's artistry at its finest.

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.
