Donovan Laiwakete, Fetish, Bear, Multi-Stone, Zuni Hand-Carved, 2 1/2"

This Zuni hand-carved Bear Fetish by Donovan Laiwakete is sculpted from warm, softly textured travertine, highlighting the natural beauty and earthy tones of the stone. The bear’s rounded, compact form symbolizes protection, healing, and strength within Zuni tradition. A delicately secured medicine bundle rests atop its back, featuring Sleeping Beauty Turquoise, pink shell, and shimmering abalone shell accents. The luminous shell and vibrant turquoise create a striking contrast against the subtle tan travertine surface. Thoughtfully detailed and smoothly finished, this handcrafted piece reflects authentic Zuni artistry and meaningful cultural symbolism.
