Garrick Acque Marble Mountain Lion Fetish Carving

This carved fetish from Zuni artist Garrick Acque is a stunning representation of an ancient art. In Zuni culture, each of the six directions‚ north, south, east, west, above and below‚ are guarded by an animal, and the mountain lion is the guardian of the north.
Hand-carved from Picasso marble and accented with turquoise eyes an a synthetic opal offering on its back. This detailed fetish celebrates Zuni culture and the Native American legacy of carving.

Mountain lion measures 3-1/4" long and 5/8" wide, stands 7/8" tall. Comes with a certificate of authenticity.
