This little hump-backed medicine bear by Justin Gomez (Taos Pueblo) is rendered in delicate orange alabaster, mottled with lacy striations that give it the look of orange sherbet. He stands firmly on a base of rough-cut orange alabaster, more translucent than the stone from which he has emerged, peering out beneath a medicine bundle of feathers and beads of stone and shell. Including base, he stands 2.75″ long by 1-7/8″ high (dimensions approximate). Another view shown below.
Orange alabaster; feathers; shell bead; hematite
