Antler Bear by Troy Sice

$ 400.00

A cream and gray colored antler bear with pen shell inlaid eyes and burnished snout and ear tips carved by Troy Sice standing upright on its hind legs. The bear clasps its front paws together in a universal manner that symbolizes an appeal to a higher power. The claws stand out for they are inlaid with jet. The bear wears a kilt like a ceremonial robe. The back of the robe has incised lines that create two diamond shapes and three triangles. Inside these shapes are five rounded turquoise hand made dots. The bottom edge of the back of the robe is seamlessly inlaid with strips of pen shell orange and red spiny oyster, purple sugilite and jet. The Zuni believe the bear is endowed with curative powers, strength, adaptability and courage - powers that can influence both the spiritual and physical realm
