Large Zuni Navajo Medicine Bear Fetish E. Boone

FINE & RARE CARVED FIGURE OF MEDICINE BEAR FETISH W/ TURQUOISE  

This auction is for a vintage and very fine hand-carved figure (fetish) of a MEDICINE BEAR with turquoise. Figurine measures 4 1/4" long x 2" wide x 2 1/4" tall. Found in very good condition, sports no areas of unsightly damage or repairs (please note underside of base shows light / minor chips from setting figurine on a hard surface). I've been told this piece is by Emmery Boone. I haven't found any marks or signatures. Figure has great detail in its design and execution. Size is quite dramatic. Most fetishes I've seen tend to be quite small.  Offered for a low opening bid and no reserve. Figures like this one retail for hundred's of dollars in other venues and  have always been very desirable and collectible, their prices will only increase in value over time. Thank you.
