    Description

    Here is a delightful Zuni bear, by the notable Zuni artist, Pete Natachu.  Mr. Natachu is known and appreciated for his dynamic and expressive carving.   The natural colors and patterns of the stone become an organic part of the design.  This bear was tricky to photograph as he has a wonderful, shiny, polish.
    I purchased this charming bear at the Autry Museum's Gift Store in the early 2000's.  It's in the same condition as when I purchased it.  (I didn't notice that the tip of the small turquoise arrow was squared off; instead of pointed...I would have purchased it, anyway! And I've factored it into the price.)
    The bear is hallmarked P N on one paw.
    The bear:
    is carved from Leopard marble.
    has inlaid turquoise eyes.
    is about 3" long.
    is about 2" wide.
    is about 2  3/8" tall.
    weighs about 261 grams.
    has an arrow bundle of lapis and turquoise
    has inlaid turquoise eyes.
    The carving will travel USPS First Class Package with tracking, or USPS Priority Mail, as you prefer.
    Shipping is within the USA.
    The bear will travel in a small box.   Please take this into account if you have a P.O. box.
    Returns are accepted.  The buyer must contact me within 14 days and the carving must be returned in the same condition as when sold.  The buyer pays for return shipping and tracking.
    I do my best to photograph carvings as accurately as possible.  I understand that images vary from device to device.
    If you have any questions, or would like to see an image at another view/angle, please contact me.
    Thank you for considering this wonderful Zuni bear by Pete Natachu..
    All Best Wishes for Your Good Health and Happiness.
