Antler Medicine Bear by Raymond Tsalate

A plump cream tinged antler bear with gold-lip & penn shell inlaid eyes, carved and delivered to Sunshine in late March of 2018 by Ray Tsalate! Ray tells us that this bear is modeled after a Zuni pottery bowl bear - so the Mediterranean coral tongue - inlaid with a sterling silver loop - smile and jet inlaid teeth with the jet inlaid halo around the face are inspired by the pottery jar - quite outstanding!
