Turquoise Mountain Lion by David Chavez

$ 54.00

A small Mexican turquoise mountain lion carved by David Chavez with jet inlaid eyes and striking bronze colored veins. David inlaid three jet dots on each side of the lion's back. Mexican turquoise generally refers to natural or stabilized turquoise sourced from northern Mexico, particularly the state of Sonora (e.g., the Campitos and Sonoran/Nakazari mines). It is known for its vibrant sky blues and varied greens. 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.
