Juana Homer Zuni bear fetish carving in serpentine - 2" x 2 3/4" #R236

$110.00

This bear is very much on the ample side, with lots of love packed into it by Juana Homer, Zuni.

The modest offering consists of turquoise and coral bits secured together on a turquoise arrowhead and on the bear’s back with sinew-like thread.

ZuniLink acquired this well-fed bear in New Mexico in 2004, making it at least 20 years old as of this update. In all that time it has never been in a private collection, but has been lovingly protected in ZuniLink’s temperature-controlled “vault”.

If the buyer requests, a Certicate of Authenticity will be provided.

This carving will be shipped FREE to any address in the 48 mainland United States.
2" x 2 3/4" R236 - $110

A note about online images: ZuniLink works very diligently to reproduce accurate colors in our photographs. Sometimes it is very difficult as is the case with this Juana Homer bear. It looks very rough and patchy. In fact, its surface is quite smooth as a solid piece of serpentine that millennia of pressure has compressed into a single stone.

As with any item you acquire from ZuniLink online, our satisfaction guarantee applies. If you are disappointed with it when you receive it, for any reason, you may return it in the same condition you received it for a full refund of your purchase price.
