Pan-te-ah

Abby masterfully captures the essence of the mighty bison, imbuing it with revered qualities such as strength, abundance, and resilience. Furthermore, the choice of using natural materials, such as petosky stone, not only adds to its aesthetic appeal but also connects it to the local landscape and traditional craftsmanship.

Buffalo (Si:wolo) is especially important to the Plains Indians. These magnificent animals were the basis of their lifeway before they were hunted to extinction by the white man. While not a traditional fetish subject for the Zunis, all animals have meaning and Bison reminds us of abundance and prayer.
