This large jet bear was carved by Stewart Lasiloo. It is nicely rendered and sports a colorful, yet traditional arrowhead offering of spiney oyster, turquoise and red branch coral. The eyes of the bear are inlaid of turquoise. Colorful and symbolic, he will add some powerful presence to your bear collection.

Unsigned.

Random topic: A collector recently asked me about cleaning fetishes. Ours were, up until our move, always kept in a glass display cabinet so I wasn't terribly concerned about dust. Since then, many were stored in plastic, slotted collection boxes until taken out for listing on the site, but some (like this one) show some dust around the arrowhead offering. If you wish, you could take a qtip or small paint brush and gently remove the dust. But I would encourage you to do this GENTLY .. and never, ever, ever to the older carvings. One .. the "patina" is what indicates their age and authenticity and two .. the sinew is probably fragile and, being real deer sinew, irreplaceable if torn. Just a thought ...
