Onyx Medicine Bear by Donovan Laiwakete

A lovely cream onyx medicine bear with turquoise inlaid eyes carved by Donovan Laiwakete. We call this a medicine bear due to the elaborate offering bundle wrapped with sinew around the girth - featuring a penn shell arrowhead, turquoise beads & melon shell heishi. The bear is endowed with curative powers, strength, adaptability & courage - powers that can influence both the spiritual & physical realm.
