Tom Hayes Navajo Onyx Bear Fetish Statue

Just for you – a magnificent, large-scale Native American spirit bear fetish figure by Navajo artisan Tom Hayes. Hand-carved from natural banded onyx, with fluid ribbons of natural earth tones that seamlessly wrapped across the bear’s body. This figure displays highlights of Hayes’s signature geometric aesthetic:  a powerful hump shoulder, clean lines, a smooth, highly polished finish. Tied tightly to the bear’s back with the typical sinew strand is a traditional ceremonial medicine pack stone arrowhead. Signed with Tom Hayes’s iconic “TH” hallmark, the hallmark is incised directly onto the underside of the paw. 9.5″x5.5″x1.5″
