Picasso Marble Bears Protecting The Village by Herbert Him
A striking gray and dark tan colored Picasso marble sculpture carved by Herbert Him from one stone depicting two bears with turquoise pigment inlaid eyes carved protecting the village walls where a female corn maiden effigy rises up. There is corn incised in low relief on one sides of the maiden's head. The bear in front of the maiden is carved with its front forearms and paws resting on the effigy where as the bear behind the maiden appears to be on the watch out. In Zuni culture, the imagery of bears protecting a maiden and the village symbolizes the ultimate harmony of strength, healing, and life-giving abundance. It merges the fierce, protective energy of the bear with the nurturing fertility of the corn maiden to ensure the community’s prosperity and survival.
