This ample walking bear was carved from pipestone by Peter Natachu, Jr. He's a big, powerful bear with a beautiful Zuni sun face inlaid and etched on the back. Peter is the grandson of the late Leonard Halate. We're glad to see he's developed his own style of carving and we really like it. Signed.

BEAR: The bear represents the western direction in a protective and healing fetish set. He is associated with the color blue and known for his curative powers. Though all bears are healers, white bears are particularly powerful. Characteristics associated with bears include strength, courage, adaptability, healing and spiritual communion.
