A young Bear cub with turquoise eyes and necklace is upright at about 2 1/4" tall, 1 3/8" wide and 1" deep. This position is regarded as demonstrating strength in the Zuni way. It's been carved from natural, lightly fragrant cedarwood by Brandon Phillips whose mother is Zuni artist Marvelita Phillips. She's renowned for her fetish necklaces. Brandon's grandfather was noted carver and jeweler Leonard Halate (d) who started carving in the 1940's. Brandon's uncle is carver Herbert Halate.
