Dolomite Mountain Lion by Melvin Sandoval

$ 175.00

A muted peach, pink, mauve,golden ocher and red sienna veined dolomite mountain lion carved by the abstract artist Melvin Sandoval. The salient form is the tail that lyrically is placed on the top of the lion's back in the traditional Zuni style. Melvin has also added a lovely offering bundle to the top of the lion's back with sinew featuring gold-lip, clam and coral heishi surrounding one larger azurite/malachite square shaped 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.
