Antler Mountain Lion by Robert Michael Weahkee

An ingenious mountain lion with turquoise inlaid eyes carved by Robert Weahkee from two points of an elk rack of horns! The antler used is prominently gray in coloration with some of the outer shell of the horn left; creating the dark brown areas. Robert has leveled off the horn on the bottom so that the large lion rests solidly on any surface. The lion has a wonderful offering bundle wrapped around its neck like a necklace featuring six Baltic amber beads and sixteen citrine beads with one round gold infused bead placed in the middle like a pendant. Citrine is known as the stone of happiness, joy, abundance, and personal will. 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.
