Description: Beautiful vintage carved stone bear fetish by Zuni artist Evalena Boone. American Indian Fetishes are thought to originate from a Zuni legend which tells of a time when the Gods turned all creatures to stone. When they were finally restored to life, some of the animals were overlooked. The Native Americans of the Southwest believe that a spirit lives within each fetish. The artist chooses a material to carve and lets it tell them what it would like to become. Then they create.* *Many carvings have arrowheads or pieces of stone attached. These gifts are thought to increase the power of the fetish* Bear was the principal animal for the Pueblo People and they are the most prevalent subject of Zuni fetishes. Bear fetishes are used for healing, protection, strength, journeying, mothering, hunting and gathering. Bear hibernation reminds us of the value of going within.
