Bear fetishes are used for healing, protection, strength, journeying, mothering, hunting and gathering. Bear‚ hibernation reminds us of the value of going within.Lena Boone is the matriarch of the Boone/Weahkee family and, following the recent death of Edna Leki, is the next in a long line of carvers tracing back to Teddy Weahkee. At the present time, Lena's energy is devoted to her children, her grandchildren, her nephews and her nieces, of which there are many. The whole extended family is carving, although the bulk of the pieces produced are still done by Lena.Lena's fetishes are simple and traditional. Lena is a major force in the movement to continue traditional carving. A large part of her fetishes' beauty and uniqueness comes from the use of many different materials.From a Private Colorado CollectionExcellent Condition22-1395 Welcome to Matt Wood's Antique American Indian Art, llc.
