Native American Genuine Marble Bear Silver Fetish Necklace.

This necklace was beautifully hand strung in our shop by Navajo Indian jewelry artist Berlinda Begay. A gathering of bears, birds, frogs, fish, and armadillos offer their presence to this one. Each of these fetishes have been hand carved out of genuine Marble. A long hand carved Bear fetish artfully dresses the center of this necklace bringing in a sense of balance. Heishi beads of genuine Olive Shell provide the extensions. Shining cones of plated Silver adorn each end. It is 28-1/2" long.

Native Americans have always felt a special connection to nature. The belief that all things have a spirit is an integral part of their religions. The Zuni believe that animals are more like the Zuni deities than is man. They also believe that animals have more power than man and that these powers, both practical and spiritual, reside in their totems.

We understand the true value and nature of hand crafted Indian art. And, we recognize it's important to know that the artist is truly a member of a Native American tribe. So, to ensure you that this is the real deal, a Certificate of Authenticity has been included with this item.
