In the wild a bear demonstrates acts of self-healing through torpor or hibernation. Zuni animal fetish carvings with rounded backs represent the entrance to that place of restoration, they are called Medicine-bears. Owning a fetish pendant necklace such as this one can be a good reminder that these qualities reside in ourselves, we just need to summon them. Overlaid on a bed of watery mother-of-pearl is a gorgeous mosaic from apple coral, jet and turquoise. The powerful bear has jet inlaid eyes and a handmade bale fixture, together measuring about 2" long, 2 3/8" wide and 3/8" deep. We love the reversible nature of this approximately 18" chocker length necklace by Brian Yatsattie. Plump beads are from turquoise, jet and coral.
