Can anyone recognize this bear? It is on a rope about in inch in size. I am not sure, a reproduction of some kind? Haven't tested the metal. Thanks!

thanks blunderbuss2!
It's made in the Zuni style. I don't know enough to tell whether it's a real Native American piece or South Asian reproduction, hopefully, someone else will pitch in.
hi davyd, thanks for the advice. In my opinion, it is not original. The woman I bought it from knows her stuff, this was in the "junk" pile. I would appreciate any help. THanks!
Its an imitation of Native American work, they mixed two styles, Zuni chip-inlay with Hopi overlay. Looks like silver though
