Indigenous Seminole groups revere black panthers as powerful spirits who first walked the earth. Their medicine men are associated with the Panther Clan. Central and South American Indigenous cultures regard panthers as symbols of life and the healing power of nature.
Inspiring creatures, panthers are large felines blessed with strong flexible bodies, long balancing tails, sharp teeth and mighty claws which make them stealthy hunters. Contrary to popular belief, the black panther is not an individual species of cat. Instead, it can refer to many species. The most common black panthers are leopards and jaguars. Behold Loren Tsalabutie's well-polished black marble panther who patiently waits for the right moment to act. Focused eyes are from turquoise inlays. A purple spiny oyster shell point with red coral and turquoise compose the offering bundle representing gratitude for the spirit of the black panther. About 3 3/4" long, 1 1/4" wide and 2 1/8" tall.
