Picasso Marble Mountain Lion by Dan Quam

An animated cream, tan & brown Picasso marble mountain lion fetish with turquoise inlaid eyes carved in great detail by Dan Quam - notice the tail that forms a loop. For the Zuni, the lion - guardian to the north - is the master hunter, revered for its intelligence, prowess, strength of will & is believed to be a spiritual link to the creator - carrying our messages upwards due to its link to all cosmic & natural forces.
