Its form is compact and powerful, its textured surface echoing the natural armor of its living counterpart. Small turquoise eyes are inlaid with care, vivid against the darkness of the stone. They gleam like hidden springs in a dry land—sharp, alert, and filled with quiet wisdom. These eyes lend the toad a presence that feels protective, almost shamanic, as if it sees beyond what is visible. Set atop its back is an arrowhead, its shape distinct and purposeful. It marks the horned toad as a creature of power—perhaps a guardian, a messenger, or a guide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHorned Toad (\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ełechokyaba)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions: \u003c\/strong\u003eLength 2 1\/2\" X Width 1 1\/8\" X Height 7\/8\" Purchased\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zuni Artist Resource Team","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42207379357786,"sku":"D.M.Brown.Marble.Horned.Toad.PUR","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0565\/5393\/0842\/files\/june_1569.jpg?v=1761689885"},{"product_id":"douglas-martza-brown-marble-owl","title":"Douglas Martza: Brown Marble, Owl","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMartz-a\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"413\"\u003eIts form is compact and symmetrical, with wings folded close to its sides and talons subtly tucked beneath. The surface of the marble is smooth but marked with natural variations—deep browns, faint blacks, and earthy undertones—that give the carving depth and the sense of being hewn from the heart of ancient stone. Its eyes are vivid turquoise inlays, round and piercing. They shine brightly against the dark stone, immediately drawing the gaze. The turquoise lends the owl a spiritual quality, imbuing it with the essence of vision and clarity—eyes that see through shadow, through night, through illusion. Though still, the owl feels watchful, alive with silent intelligence. It holds the aura of a sentinel, a wise observer of the world, grounded in earth but attuned to the unseen. This is no mere bird—it is a symbol of insight, mystery, and the sacred quiet between knowing and not knowing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOwl (Muhukwi): \u003c\/strong\u003eOwls can see what others cannot and this is a large part of Owl (Muhukwi) medicine. Owl’s ability to do this reminds us of the importance of both worlds: the physical as well as the spiritual, perhaps the known and the unknown. Our willingness and courage to transform the unknown in ourselves into the known is a true source of wisdom. The Zuni Pueblo people call the owl “the Night Grandfather” because he does his work at night. Clairvoyant properties and uncovering deception have always been associated with Owl. Its connection with wisdom comes from Owl’s ability to discern that which cannot be “seen.”  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions: \u003c\/strong\u003eLength: 1 1\/2\" X Width: 7\/8\" X Height: 2 1\/4\" Purchased \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zuni Artist Resource Team","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42207403507802,"sku":"D.M.Brown.Marble.Owl..PUR","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0565\/5393\/0842\/files\/june_1558.jpg?v=1761689851"},{"product_id":"douglas-martza-picasso-marble-standing-bear","title":"Douglas Martza: Picasso Marble, Standing Bear","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMart-za\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"383\"\u003eThe bear, standing tall and poised, is carved from light brown Picasso marble—a stone alive with soft swirls of cream, tan, and warm sienna. The flowing veins of the marble seem to move with the bear, as if the very essence of the land has risen up and taken form. Its body is solid and upright, a symbol of strength and alert presence, yet its smooth contours lend it a quiet grace. Set into the bear’s face are turquoise eyes—small, round, and luminous. They stand out brilliantly against the warm marble tones, imbuing the figure with a sense of spirit and watchfulness. These eyes seem to see beyond the visible world, connecting the bear to something deeper—ancestral, protective, wise. On its back rests an arrowhead, carefully placed, symbolic rather than functional. It marks the bear as more than just a creature—it is a guardian, a traveler, or a spiritual guide. The arrowhead could represent life, protection, direction, or offering—a tribute to the bear’s enduring power and sacred role in the natural and spiritual realms. This standing bear, with its upward stance, turquoise gaze, and arrowhead marking, is a carving of balance—grounded in earth, touched by sky, and carrying the quiet power of survival, courage, and deep knowing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBear: (\u003c\/strong\u003eAnshe) was the principal name for the pueblo people and they are the most prevalent subject of Zuni fetishes.
