Mart-za

Boldly carved from Picasso Marble, this buffalo captures the strength and grounded presence of the iconic animal. Its turquoise eyes gleam with intensity, while the gracefully curved horns add a sense of power and realism. A carefully inlaid heartline runs along the chest, symbolizing life and spirit, making this carving both a striking visual and a meaningful piece of art.

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.
