Bears have powers that we do not. They can walk short distances on their hind legs so an upright bear is considered healing and showing strength by Indigenous cultures. Bears will defend themselves even if wounded teaching us to stand up and fight for what is right. They are the most prevalent subject of Zuni animal carvings. Brion Hattie’s standing Bear is masterfully carved from marble. Stunning etching results in a furry coat. The sweetest eyes are from turquoise inlaid to an endearing face. About 2 1/4″ tall, 1 3/8″ wide and 2″ deep.
