Serpentine And Copper Ore Bear With Cub by Cheryl Beyuka

$ 75.00

A bear with its cub carved by Cheryl Beyuka. The mother bear - or father bear - is carved from a piece of cream colored serpentine and the cub is carved in copper ore - both have jet inlaid eyes. There is a sweet offering bundle holding the pear together. The beads used are garnet, amethyst, lapis, apple coral, turquoise and pearls - we think. Animals carved with their offspring - address the diligence and love it takes to raise a child - no matter the species. For the Zuni, the bear is an animal endowed with strength, adaptability, courage and healing powers - in both the physical and spiritual realm. The bear’s association with healing may have stemmed from its ability to hibernate during seasonal changes in order to conserve its food supply and energy.
