Tom Hayes Navajo White Marble Bear Fetish Statue

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Signed monumental-scale Native American spirit bear figure by extremely collectible artisan Tom Hayes. Hayes is known for his bold, powerful interpretations of the Zuni bear fetish style, yet most of his works are much smaller then this piece. At a massive 10.5 inches, this rare, museum-quality piece is a premier masterwork on a scale for a centerpiece, mantle, or display case. Hand-carved from a beautifully figured block of white marble the figure is highlights its stunning natural ribbons of color throughout the body. True to Hayes’ signature style, the bear has a powerful silhouette featuring a flat back and clean, sweeping geometric lines. Secured to the bear’s back with natural sinew is a simple ceremonial medicine bundle of a hand-carved arrowhead. Please see pictures for condition details as the photos are considered part of the description. 10.5″x10″x3″[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
