The medicine bears created by Lena Boone are reminiscent of her grandfather Teddy Weahkee (d.) and her mother Edna Leki (d.). This bear however has a more modern, sleek and smooth look which a departure from their old style of carving and she has passed this approach to carving to her children and students of Zuni fetish carving.


Made of septarian nodule and inlaid with Sleeping Beauty turquoise its posture is trademark Zuni medicine bear. It is exceptionally carved and expertly finished including the arrowhead offering bundle made of spiney oyster shell and red coral, turquoise and heishe beads tied with sinew. The fetish is unsigned which is more often than not typical of artist and family.
