Vivella Cheama: Chinese Turquoise, Buffalo

Vivella Cheama: Chinese Turquoise, Buffalo

The vibrant hue of the turquoise brings forth a sense of vitality and energy, while the piercing gaze from its eyes seems to pierce through any obstacles in its path. This breathtaking carving is not merely an object, but a symbol of strength, resilience, and abundance - a testament to the enduring beauty and significance found in artistry and craftsmanship. It is a piece that inspires awe and reverence, leaving all who behold it in awe of its magnificence.

Buffalo/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.
