Septarian Nodule Medicine Bear by Leland Boone and Daphne Quam

$ 60.00

A prominent grayish green septarian nodule medicine bear with prominent cream and brown veins and turquoise inlaid eyes carved by Leland Boone and Daphne Quam. The couple added a lovely offering bundle to the top of the bear's backs with sinew featuring a spiny oyster heart shaped arrowhead topped with two turquoise beads. 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 Creator made the bear to be a guardian for mankind. The bear is endowed with curative powers, strength, adaptability and courage - powers that can influence both the spiritual and physical realm.
