At first glance this may appear to be just another adorable Mama bear, baby bear sculpture. But a closer look reveals the little maiden on the other side of the bear. We're enchanted by this unusual trio of friends and we hope you are as well.

Carved from turquoise by Marlo Booqua, the bears have jet inlaid eyes but the maiden's features are only etched. Very sweet and signed on 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.
