Angelite Medicine Bear by Emery Eriacho, Deceased

$ 75.00

A small muted periwinkle and white spotted angelite medicine bear carved by the now deceased Emery Eriacho with turquoise inlaid eyes. The offering bundle features a small pink rhodochrosite arrow head topped with a coral and green turquoise bead. The Zuni believe the Creator made the bear to be a guardian for mankind. The medicine bear shape is thought to resemble a cave opening - depicting a bear coming out of hibernation and the pose is the bear sniffing the ground for healing herbs. The Zuni believe the bear is endowed with curative powers, strength, adaptability and courage - powers that can influence both the spiritual and physical realm.
