Freddie Leekya, Fetish, Bear, Multi-Stone, Zuni Hand-Carved, 2 1/4"

This Zuni hand-carved Bear Fetish by Freddie Leekya is sculpted from luminous white marble, its smooth surface beautifully accented by subtle natural shading. The bear’s rounded, compact form conveys quiet strength and protection, reflecting its important symbolism in Zuni tradition. Resting atop its back is a vibrant medicine bundle composed of Jasper, Sleeping Beauty Turquoise, Kingman Turquoise, Coral, Lapis Lazuli, Yellow Shell, and Spiny Oyster Shell, carefully secured in traditional fashion. The rich array of stones creates a striking contrast of blues, reds, and golden hues against the pale marble body. Masterfully balanced and thoughtfully detailed, this piece embodies Leekya’s refined craftsmanship and the enduring spirit of Zuni carving artistry.
