Best Hunter Mountain Lion

By Loren Tsalabutie

Animal: Mountain Lion, Material: Boulder Opal
This offering is sold.

Zuni artist Loren Tsalabutie told us "my favorite animal to carve is the mountain lion which oddly enough was the most difficult to carve when I first started carving." We're honored to share a masterfully sculpted Mountain-lion (puma, cougar or panther) who shows us that it is the best hunter around. A turned head with emotive eyes from turquoise inlays, a mid-stride pose and the flick of a long powerful tail capture the essence of a breathing mountain lion in this approximately 3 1/2" long, roughly 1 7/8" wide and 2" tall energized feline brought to life from gorgeous Boulder opal. Opalized veins of verdant green, purple, pink and blue course through the ironstone-rich gemstone.
