This pair of Native American Zuni earrings showcases hand-carved bear fetishes crafted from blue stone and turquoise, each adorned with a colorful channel inlay "medicine line" incorporating red, yellow, and green mosaic stones across the body. The bears are mounted on hand-fabricated sterling silver bails and fitted with French hook ear wires. Dating to the late 20th century, these earrings reflect the traditional lapidary artistry and symbolic design of the Zuni, where the bear motif represents strength, healing, and protection in Pueblo culture. The earrings are in very good vintage condition.
