The Color Purple Medicine Bear

By Melvin Sandoval, San Felipe-Zuni

Animal: Bear, Material: Lepidolite
This offering is sold.

Bears go into a resting state called torpor to sustain themselves when times are lean. This vital healing takes place in a den or cave. A Medicine-bear fetish is carved with a rounded back meant to mimic the entrance where they go to renew. Melvin Sandoval's harmoniously formed lepidolite friend is about 2 3/8" long, 1" wide and 1 3/4" tall. The incredible color purple is said to have healing benefits.
