Nampeyo’s Blessing acrylic The bear’s distinctive Roman nose

The bear’s distinctive Roman nose is best captured with the mammal perpendicular to the camera with his head raised

Inspired by historic images of Native American warriors shooting arrows into the sky

I would imagine a hint of bewilderment

This one of a kind Nighthorse ring is inlaid with lapis
