Zuni Lasiloo Travertine Bear Fetish Carving

This wonderful bear features carving by Zuni artist Priscilla Lasiloo, in a very unusual, vareigated Serpentine/Travertine! It is carved in a traditional arched position, and has great 3-piece burden details including inlaid eyes! Beautiful finish. He measures 1 1/2"

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. The Lasiloo family have worked in traditional carving for many years. Their work is respected and collected.

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