Zuni bear fetishes are among the most iconic and revered carvings in Native American art from the Zuni Pueblo in New Mexico. These small sculptures, typically made from stones like serpentine, turquoise, jet, or marble, represent the bear (known as Anshe in Zuni), a powerful guardian spirit. The bear is associated with the western direction, the color blue, and embodies themes of healing, protection, strength, introspection, and transformationespecially during life’s transitions, much like a bear’s hibernation for renewal.
