ThispowerfulMountain-lion,creatively carved out of alabaster by Rickson Kallestewa, is about 7 3/4″ long and 3″ tall.Its long, sinuous tail spirals along the side. Between its font paws it carries an offering, a bowl depicting “deer in his house” a traditional Zuni pottery design. In this offering bowl rest three blue corn kernels. Rickson offered the spirit of the mountain lion a hunting point carved from pink mussel shell, slipping the attaching cord between the tail and body.
