Navajo Fetish Bear Turquoise

Carved from stone, these Navajo fetishes are inspired by fetishes created by the Zuni culture. Directions are represented by guardian animals and this bear carved from turquoise protects the west.

Navajo and Zuni are two of eleven tribes whose culture and history is associated with the Grand Canyon. This fetish measures 2 inches long and stands 1.5 inches high.
