Did you know that Albert Eustace started out as a potter? He's been carving fetishes for about a decade now and is best known for his bears, mountain lions, badgers, owls, etc.

He's used a large chunk of serpentine to carve this large bear that weighs just shy of a pound. His elongated body measures a full 6.25" long so make sure he has plenty of room to stretch out. The offering bundle is a delicate pink shell arrowhead tied on with melon shell, turquoise and red coral. The eyes are inlaid of turquoise and Albert has initialed the bottom.

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.
