Zuni artists are renowned for fetishes (small carved animal figures with spiritual significance) and pottery. Bears are particularly important in Zuni and broader Pueblo culture: they symbolize strength, healing, protection, and introspection (due to hibernation). Bear figures may appear as standalone sculptures, lidded jars/bowls, or decorative elements on vessels.
