Whoever said "good things come in small packages" was surely talking about this adorable, tiny pair of bears made by the talented husband/wife carving team of Lavies and Daisy Natewa.

One of the bears is carved from augite serpentine and is quite dramatic - the wife, no doubt. Her calmer husband is made from serpentine. They keep each other in perfect balance. The eyes are inlaid of turquoise and jet and they are bound for life by a trio of beautiful turquoise beads and a sinew promise. 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.
