White Marble Medicine Bear by Andres Lementino
A white marble medicine bear with turquoise inlaid eyes carved by Andres Lementino and delivered to Sunshine Studio's front porch in early November of 2021. Andres has inlaid a fantastic double Zuni sun face on the bear's left side - composed from bits of clam, mother-of-pearl, turquoise, apple coral and lapis. The Sun face is an ancient symbol in Zuni culture, representing the sacred Sun Father. The symbol's round motif depicts the Sun with a forehead split down the middle to reflect the eternal balance between sunrise and sunset. The medicine bear shape is thought to resemble a cave opening - depicting a bear coming out of hibernation & the pose is the bear sniffing the ground for healing herbs.
