Kan-teen-a  

Alabaster, a soft and smooth mineral, demands meticulous precision and attention to detail during the carving process to ensure the final product is flawless. The addition of turquoise horns adds a pop of color and contrast to the piece. Traditionally, buffalos symbolize strength, power, and resilience in Native American culture, making this sculpture not only visually stunning but also culturally significant. 

Bison/Buffalo

(Si:wolo) Bison 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.
