Cheryl Beyuka’s Yellow Feather Jasper Mountain Lion is graphically punchy as well as extremely graceful. Simon Bica (d) was Cheryl’s grandfather. He had a minimalistic carving style which can be seen today in Cheryl’s work as well as her cousin’s Rickson Kallestewa, simply expressing the spirit of the animal. Cheryl used the Jasper artfully, capturing a mountain lion’s power and presence. Sleek and silent. Mountain Lions are rarely seen, and highly regarded in Zuni, as the Guardian of the North. Mt. Lion carries an offering that compliments the rich, dark accents in this beautiful stone. Cheryl signed it on the bottom “Cheryl Beyuka Zuni Pueblo”. A gift from the carver to TKF. Elah kwa, Cheryl. All proceeds will go to TKF’s project for Zuni artists. Measures 4 1/4” long x 1 1/4 “ tall. $160. No Tax. Free Shipping in the USA.
