Zuni Handcarved Rainbow Calcidion Bear Fetish Carving

This wonderful bear features carving by Emery Eriacho, in bright rainbow calcidion -- a stalagmitious mineral! It is carved in a curved, traditional position, and has great burden details and inlaid eyes. He measures 1 1/2" long.

Hand carved fetish animals have been produced by the Southwestern American Indian Nations for millennia, but since the 1920s, the growth of trade and appreciation for this indigenous art form has mushroomed! Known carvers' work is in very high demand by collectors world wide, especially from Zuni Pueblo and the new generation is wasting no time in establishing their work as equal to and in many cases, surpassing the work of traditional artists of older generations.

If you are looking for an unusual carving in unique stone from a noted Zuni carver, don't let this one get away!
