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

This Zuni hand-carved Bear Fetish by Bernard Laiwakete is sculpted from richly patterned septarian, showcasing dramatic natural veining in deep charcoal and soft gray tones. The bear’s compact, powerful form is enhanced by smooth polishing that highlights the stone’s organic character. Inlaid Sleeping Beauty Turquoise eyes and twin arrow motifs along the sides create a vivid contrast against the dark matrix. The clean lines and balanced proportions reflect Laiwakete’s masterful craftsmanship and contemporary interpretation of traditional Zuni style. Symbolizing strength, protection, and direction, this striking bear embodies both the spirit of the animal and the enduring legacy of Zuni carving artistry.
