LARGE Zuni Indian Fetish Old Style Bear FRANCIS LEEKYA SR. (d.)
ARTIST/CARVER: FRANCIS LEEKYA SR. (Zuni Pueblo - deceased - Son of LEEKYA DEYUSE)
MADE OF: Zunirock Travertine w/ eyes of turquoise and an Exceptional "Leekya Leaf" bundle of Abalone, Coral branch, and turquoise.
SIZE: 3-3/4" long x 2-1/8" tall (w/ bundle) x 1-1/8" thick!
NOTES: Such charm and spirit resides in the carvings of Francis Leekya Sr.! This is from my personal collection and is a real sweetie! The Bear was carved in 2002/2003, and is one of the nicer carvings made when Francis was only able to use one hand while working! (he'd had a stroke) A rare offering as not too many of Francis' fetishes are available for sale any longer.
SOME CHARACTERISTICS OF THE BEAR Fetishes: The Directional Guardian of the West - Strength; Introspection; Managing Transition; Communication between Human and Spirit; Power of the Soul.
Authenticity Guaranteed!
