Wild Horse Rock Mountain Lion by Michael Mahooty 2025 Online

A muted white, brown umber and dark maroon colored wild horse rock mountain lion carved by Michael Mahooty with turquoise inlaid eyes and a tail that forms a tea cup handle shape – thereby receiving support from both ends. Michael has added a lovely offering bundle as well, featuring a spiny oyster arrowhead topped with two turquoise beads surrounding a small portion of a swirling melon shell. 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.
