Offering Bowl
The offering bowl serves as a vessel for offerings to appease deities and ancestors, symbolizing their beliefs in maintaining harmony and balance in the universe. The choice of sandstone not only highlights the superior stone-working skills of the Zuni people but also embodies the sacred connection they have with their natural surroundings. Each carving is unique and carries its own individual personality, representing different animals or supernatural beings revered by the tribe. Perfectly blending tradition with contemporary aesthetics, this Zuni offering bowl is a testament to the rich cultural heritage that has been preserved by generations of skilled fetish carvers.
