This bear fetish backpack is a unique piece of art from Navajo artist Bessie Smith. She carved the bear from petrified wood, which forms when silicon dioxide replaces wood that has died and degraded. The result is a tree that has turned completely into stone! This earthy piece is a wonderful mantle or bookshelf accent.
The special “backpack” bundle the bear carries is wrapped with sinew and includes:
* 2 pieces genuine Mediterranean Coral
* Feather
* 2 Ghost beads
* 1 piece Citrine stone
* 2 pieces Mother-of-Pearl shell
Dimensions: L-3½"; H-2¾"; W-¾"

The Bear is the strongest and most powerful healing fetish. A prayer bundle, also called a medicine bundle, is sometimes attached to the back. In times of difficulty, bring about the spirit of the bear as your source of support. It will provide you with courage and strength to face your challenges as the bear is feared and admired by exemplifying strength and leadership; the bear is your guide for introspection within your own life.
