Zuni Bear Fetishes – Symbols of Strength & Healing

In Zuni tradition, the Bear is the guardian of the West and a powerful symbol of strength, courage, and introspection.
Bear fetishes are believed to protect their keeper, offering guidance through challenges and renewal through healing energy. Known as a master of both the physical and spiritual worlds, Bear teaches balance — standing strong yet wise enough to retreat and recover when needed.

Each authentic Zuni Bear fetish is hand-carved by Zuni Pueblo artists of New Mexico from natural materials such as turquoise, jet, serpentine, and marble. Every stone carries its own energy, enhancing the carving’s spiritual resonance.
Collectors value Bear carvings for their powerful stance, heartline inlays, and the deep grounding presence they bring to any collection.
