She recreates the powerful and vivid colors of nature, as well as the most elemental materials that Mother Earth has provided for her people for years. Her lifetime research along with her own unique ideas lead her on to represent, promote, preserve, and protect a time and a people whose heritage fulfills a vast part of the circle of life."

Collectors continue to be fascinated with Cindy Jo's unforgettable display of expression, personality and individual characters of each piece."
"Two Bears wears a crown of bear claws that are believed to contain curing powers. The claws were taken from an adversary in battle and are so highly prized they are passed down from generation to generation. Two Bears honors the bear spirit, thereby bringing blessings upon himself and his tribe"
Cindy Jo was recently selling “Two Bears II” on her website.
Do a search for
"Spirits by Cindy Jo".  When I emailed the gallery, I was informed that the selling price for "Two Bears II" was 70.00.  In my opinion, "Two Bears II" looks almost identical to "Two Bears".
Please feel free to ask questions before bidding.
Item comes from a smoke-free & pet-free home.
I will take this mask to a pack & ship store to be professionally packed and shipped to you.
