Tijilite Mountain Lion by Tony Mackel

$ 105.00

A large golden caramel, pinkish cream colored and darker brown spotted tijilite mountain lion carved by Tony Mackel looking straight a head with turquoise inlaid eyes. Tony has given the lion a large tail that loops over the lion's back in the traditional Zuni style - leaving a negative space in the center. The feet are carved in the round with fur incised all over the lion's body. Note: that there are some holes left on both sides of the lion's body that sort of blend in with the incised fur lines. 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.
