Bears are the most prevalent subject of Zuni carvings. By honoring and acknowledging a bear’s natural traits such as strength, power, journeying, protection and mothering, we can awaken similar attributes within ourselves. Kateri Quandelacy Sanchez has paired this protective
Bear with a life-affirming
Corn-Maiden who wears a fringed shawl. Carved from one specimen of rich septarian nodule, the bear's gentle eyes are from jet inlays. The graceful Corn Maiden's face is from iridescent gold lip shell and red coral adorns. An etched star and
Dragonfly friend also accent this approximately 2" long, roughly 1 1/8" wide and 1 1/2" tall wonderful piece.
