Larry Peina's animal carvings are magical because they feel like the days of old when the ancestors began carving for spiritual and traditional reasons. They seem to be conveyed with an innocence that brings us closer to the essential and sacred things in life, like a pure awareness without concepts or constraints. Sculpted from Picasso marble, a delightful Mountain-lion (puma, panther or cougar) has tiny eyes from turquoise inlays, a beautiful sgraffito etched tail and an iridescent abalone point offering bundle. Approximately 4 1/2" long, 1 5/8" wide and 2 1/4" tall.
