Utah Sandstone Medicine Bear by Leland Boone and Daphne Quam

$ 60.00

A red sienna, vibrant orange and muted cream veined Nevada sandstone medicine bear with turquoise inlaid eyes carved by Leland Boone and Daphne Quam. The bear has a lovely offering bundle placed on the side of the lion's back with sinew featuring an abalone arrowhead topped with two turquoise beads. Note that this carving is not porous - it is smooth to the touch thanks to the polishing process. 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.
