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

This Zuni hand-carved Bear Fetish by Freddie Leekya is masterfully sculpted from richly polished black marble, giving the piece a bold and powerful presence. The bear’s strong, rounded form symbolizes protection, healing, and spiritual strength within Zuni tradition. Intricate inlay work of Sleeping Beauty Turquoise, Kingman Turquoise, coral, pink shell, and spiny oyster shell creates a vibrant mosaic across the body, complemented by serpentine accents. The detailed medicine bundle and carefully set stones highlight exceptional craftsmanship and a deep respect for traditional techniques. Striking in both color and symbolism, this handcrafted fetish is a remarkable example of authentic Zuni artistry and collectible fine stonework.
