Albert Eustace, Fetish, Bear, Multi-Stone, Zuni Hand-Carved, 2 1/4"

This Zuni hand-carved Bear Fetish by Albert Eustace is sculpted from rich red pipestone, its warm earthy tones beautifully highlighting the finely incised fur details. The bear’s powerful stance and lowered head convey strength, protection, and quiet determination; qualities traditionally associated with the bear in Zuni culture. Inlaid Kingman Turquoise accents bring a vibrant touch of blue, offering striking contrast against the deep red stone. The piece is adorned with a carved pin shell bundle, secured with natural sinew, adding both texture and symbolic significance. Expertly shaped and carefully polished, this carving reflects Eustace’s skilled craftsmanship and the enduring spirit of Zuni hand-carved artistry.
