FE245 Harpo bear fetish

Zuni fetish. One of a kind. 

Carved alabaster bear with jet eyes.

On its back, a green turquoise arrowhead is accompanied by a small Sleeping Beauty turquoises (Arizona) nuggets, giving it added strength. In Native culture, the bear is symbol of power, strenght, health and knowledge.

In a time when the Zuni tribe lived from agriculture and hunting, the hunters couldn't do without these amulets and would never forget to bring them during their expeditions. The fetishes assure benevolence of the soul. Each animal represents its spirit, its own inner force and protects its owner.
