The choice of serpentine as the material brings this earthy and natural vibe to the buffalo. You can almost feel its powerful presence just by looking at it. And those turquoise eyes? They add this touch of vibrant color and a sense of life to the whole piece. It's like the buffalo is staring right back at you, inviting you into its world. 

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.
