Aqua Blue Marble Mountain Lion by Loren Tsalabutie

$ 700.00

A large aqua blue marble mountain lion with coral inlaid eyes carved by Loren Tsalabutie jumping forward with its hind legs and tail creating the stability for the big cat to launch. This is all hypothetical for the lion is not jumping but the animated pose makes the viewer understand what comes next. Loren has carved all four of the legs and feet in the round and strangely enough - the tail is not touching the ground! Loren has added a lovely offering bundle to the top of the lion's back with sinew featuring a spiny oyster arrowhead with two turquoise beads surrounding one small branch coral bead. For the Zuni, the lion represents the guardian of the north - he is the master hunter, revered for intelligence, prowess and strength of will. The mountain lion enjoys the prestige of being one of the most capable predators, and therefore conveys to man a spirit to refine goals, preserve, and achieve.
