Polar Bear

By Melvin Sandoval, San Felipe-Zuni

Animal: Bear, Material: Marble
This offering is sold.
Polar bears are not a traditionally carved animal for Pueblo cultures. They are especially sacred to the Inuit and Alaska's Indigenous Peoples who regard them much in the same way Pueblo People do a white Bear, who is considered to have extra healing qualities. A pure sweet spirit emanates from Melvin Sandoval's elegantly formed marble bear or perhaps a polar bear who forages at about 2 5/8" long, 1" wide and 1 3/4" tall.
