Donovan Laiwakete, Fetish, Bear, Multi-Stone, Zuni Hand-Carved, 1 3/4"

Description

This Zuni hand-carved Bear Fetish by Donovan Laiwakete is sculpted from beautifully banded fluorite, displaying soft hues of purple, green, and smoky gray. The bear’s graceful, forward-leaning posture conveys quiet strength and purposeful movement. A bold inlay of Sleeping Beauty Turquoise forms a striking arrow motif across the body, symbolizing direction, protection, and power. The vivid turquoise contrasts brilliantly against the translucent, naturally layered fluorite. Thoughtfully polished and expertly carved, this handcrafted piece is a distinctive example of contemporary Zuni artistry rooted in tradition.
