Bow-an-nie

As one gazes upon the intricate details of this majestic creature, it is impossible not to be captivated by its imposing presence and undeniable spiritual significance. The juxtaposition of the deep red onyx against the vibrant turquoise creates a striking visual contrast that symbolizes strength, beauty, and resilience. With each carefully crafted line and curve, the artist has imbued this piece with a sense of primal energy and ancient wisdom that transcends mere physical form. This buffalo serves as a potent reminder of the enduring connection between humanity and the natural world, a reminder to respect and honor the sacred bond we share with all living beings.

Bison (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.
