Could not locate this rabbit hallmark in my book of Hopi silver hallmarks, maybe someone else here recognizes it.
During my research I was able to find this similar hallmark, but the jewelry does not appear to be Hopi. Maybe it’s a shop mark?

WOW! I think the ring is a miss stamp from Harry Nutumya. I have actually see two other rings miss stamped like this long ago. Check his work out, very similar. The Zuni bear is more of a mystery, I have seen multiple similar bears like this in the past 5 years. Have you tested the arrow? I am betting it is 10 - 14K gold fill. That in itself may put you onto the right track. Have you tried Google image search on the bear?
The bear pendant is not mine, I found it while google searching for the rabbit hallmark. I just thought that the rabbit hallmark on the ring was difficult to make out, so I included the bear for reference. But thank you for the Nutumya name, I will take a look into him and see what I come up with!

This looks like maker! Looks like misstampped hallmarks were somewhat common with Nutumya. Started silversmithing in 1992 and is still working today.

This would go with my new to me Hopi bracelet! What size is that ring? I Love, love that bear (wish it were mine) and Christibo is probably right about the arrow, although it could possibly be gold filled too. I have a feather ring with gold filled spine/cartilage or whatever you want to call it…? It has never faded so far.
