Serpentine Mountain Lion by Marnella Kucate

$ 125.00

A small creamy gold and gray veined serpentine mountain lion with turquoise inlaid eyes carved by Marnella Kucate in the traditional Zuni style made recognizable by Frank Hamilton Cushing after a visit that was shortly afterwards printed in an 1880 Bureau of Ethnology report. Marnella added a lovely offering bundle featuring a gold-lip arrowhead topped with two branch coral beads along with pen and melon shell heishi surrounding a turquoise bead that is placed at the center. For the Zuni, the lion represents the guardian of the north - he is the master hunter, revered for his intelligence, prowess & strength of will. A lion is a symbol of strength and courage, but also of leadership and wisdom with unique heightened powers of sight and smell.
