Indigenous cultures like the Hopi regard grizzly Bears as uncles with strong healing powers, praying to them when they see them. We can follow the leadership of Indigenous communities by respecting bears. Practice ethical wildlife viewing by keeping a safe distance and never disturbing natural behaviors or habitats. Kyle Awelagte's mighty grizzly bear carved from Royston turquoise uses a strong snout to uncover tender grass roots and other edibles. Grizzly bears are notable root grubbing foragers. Eyes are from jet inlays and a gorgeous amber and turquoise bead offering bundle is secured to this approximately 3" long, 7/8" wide and 2" tall friend.
Kyle Awelagte was instructed in the art of carving by his father Burt Awelagte who was taught by Joseph Quam. Burt says he listens to the stone as it tells him what it wants to be. He's imparted these important skills to Kyle whose recent offering is a Picasso marble Bear with tiny eyes from turquoise inlays. We love this bear's powerful presence including a great facial expression and elongated snout. An offering bundle gives thanks in the form of turquoise, warm amber and a fresh water pearl gift. About 3 3/4" long, 1 1/4" wide and 2 1/2" tall.
