Vintage Zuni Bear Fetish Fossil Carving
This Vintage Zuni Bear Fetish Fossil Carving was handmade by Bernard Laiwakete and is an extremely nice carving! He depicts the tribal totem of healing and protection using Ammonite. Two corn kachinas are nicely detailed at the top with inlaid Turquoise and Spiny Oyster dragonflies and stars surrounding them. On the other side, additional dragonflies and stars hover over a traditional Sunface. Polished to a soft shine, it's 2-3/4" wide and 2/3/8" tall and in very good, used condition. Barely legible initials with Zuni on the bottom. This Vintage Zuni Bear Fetish Fossil Carving is a modern piece of Native American artistry, that retains a link to the past!
Bernard is from a large family of carvers that include his four brothers and his great-grandfather. They are well-known for their use of fine stone and meticulous inlay. His work is featured in McManis' "Zuni Fetishes and Carvings".
