The medicine bear takes form this time as a ghost bear, a mystical being, hand-wrought from spiderweb alabaster by Jeremy Gomez (Taos Pueblo). In keeping with his medicine obligations, he carries the bundle on his back, made up of feathers that evoke the colors of his marbled body and a topped by a miniature Skystone nugget. He stands, strong and proud, atop a red cedar base; base and stone are oiled to protect their surfaces. Bear stands 3-1/8″ long (excluding feather length) by 2-1/4″ high; base is 3-1/8″ long and adds 3/8″ in overall height (dimensions approximate). Another view shown below.
