Black Marble Mountain Lion by Hiram Peynetsa

$ 400.00

A fabulous mountain lion with turquoise inlaid eyes, incised whiskers and partially opened mouth in an expressive face. Carved by Hiram Peynetsa there is a spiraling tail on the lion's right side that is lent support from both ends by the body. Hiram has carved the front legs and feet in the round with the hind legs created as one form - though the feet are given dimensional detail. You can sense this lion is on the prowl. 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.
