Serpentine Lion With Brothers by Ernie Mackel III
An outstanding brown, gray and golden ocher serpentine mountain lion carved in an animated pose by Ernie Mackel III. The lion plays host to his 5 brothers - attached in the offering bundle on top of the lion's back - creating in form the 6 animals the Zuni revere and the directional colors they represent. The lion is the 6th brother; he represents the north and his directional color is yellow. From the lion's left side - there is a jet mole - the brother of the nadir underground world and black is the mole's directional color, then a turquoise bear - the brother of the west - blue is the bear's traditional directional color. There is an apple coral red badger on top of the mountain lion - representing the south - mounted to an abalone shell arrowhead. An abalone eagle rests against the lion on the its right side - he represents the zenith heavenly realm and a rainbow color is the traditional color. Finally, there is a clam shell carved wolf, representing the eas - and white is the traditional color. Five of the brothers have turquoise inlaid eyes with jet applied to the bear's eyes.
