Zuni DILBERT GASPER Bear Fetish Necklace Earrings Hand-Carved 130g 25 VERY RARE
IMPORTANT: This is authentic Native American Indian handmade, on the Indian reservation, in New Mexico U. Please note: I have nothing against the foreign imports from the Philippines, China or Mexico (they are inexpensive and serve a purpose as cheap “alternatives” but if you want an authentic Native American Indian handicraft they are considerably more expensive than their “foreign counterparts”). OOPS: I just noticed the horrendous lighting in photo #1 (my MAIN photo). The “glare” of the lighting “washed out” the HAND-ETCHING details on the bear fetishes. Please refer to PHOTO #4 to see all of the painstaking HAND-ETCHING. ZUNI Native American Indian DILBERT GASPER handcrafted in NEW MEXICO, U. Please see my photo for the artist’s hallmark. Please note: This is a pre-owned item and I do not know if DILBERT GASPER is still living. Very charming HAND-CARVED, HANDMADE BEARS with cute little KACHINA FACES sitting on them. The little kachina faces feature TURQUOISE, MOTHER-OF-PEARL SEASHELL, RED CORAL and BLACK ONYX. Please study all of my photos. All fetishes meticulously painstakingly HAND-CARVED from what appears to be black marble or black onyx stone. Please note there is also HAND-ETCHING. Very-labor intensive for the artist. PLEASE NOTE: I have showed you BOTH sides of all of the fetishes. Please see ALL photos. Fetishes are strung with genuine natural TURQUOISE “nuggets”. There are sterling silver cones and clasp. Circa: Unknown but in very nice PRE-OWNED condition. I have carefully studied the fetishes (and entire necklace and earrings) and I can find no defects or damage. Necklace: 25 long – suitable for most male and female necklines. Weight: Approximately: 130 grams. Bottom BEAR fetish: 2″ x 1 1/8″ Side Bears: 1 1/2″ x 1″ All measurements approximate and to the best of my ability (I’m elderly with poor vision). Thank you very much for your understanding.
