A charming buffalo figure carved out of Zuni stone, with the most mesmerizing turquoise eyes that instantly captivate your attention. And let's not forget about those striking black horns that add an extra layer of character to this beautiful piece of art. This buffalo becomes more than just a carving; it becomes a symbol of strength, resilience, and a deep connection to nature. 

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.
