Nah-tee-wah

A crochet bear in sunny, cheerful yellow stands plump and huggable, its textured stitches giving the soft body a cozy, handcrafted feel. On its stomach, a vibrant Zuni sunface is carefully stitched, its radiant design incorporating warm reds, and blue that complement the bright yellow of the bear. The sunface symbolizes life, warmth, and vitality, adding a meaningful and cultural touch to the playful figure. The combination of the cheerful crochet texture and the intricately stitched sunface creates a bear that is both whimsical and spiritually expressive, radiating joy and handcrafted charm.

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.
