Nah-tee-wah

 A crochet bear in the shade of blue stands adorably, its rounded body and plump limbs giving it a cuddly, inviting presence. The textured stitches create a subtle pattern across its surface, adding depth and charm to the handmade form. On its stomach, a carefully stitched Zuni rain cloud adds a symbolic and artistic detail. This motif contrasts beautifully with the rich blue of the bear’s body, giving the piece a sense of cultural meaning, whimsy, and handcrafted warmth. The combination of the crochet texture and the Zuni-inspired design creates a bear that feels both playful and meaningful.

Bear (Anshe): Bear was the principal animal for the Pueblo People and they are the most prevalent subject of Zuni fetishes. Bear fetishes are used for healing, protection, strength, journeying, mothering, hunting and gathering. Bear‚ hibernation reminds us of the value of going within.
