Sanchez, Russell – Black-and-Sienna Mountain Lion with Turquoise
3.25" long x 2.25"h
$ 4,400.00
Russell Sanchez continues to be one of the true innovators in Pueblo pottery. Each piece is perfectly coil built, stone polished and etched. This is one of Russell’s few mountain lion clay figure. Mountain lions always have their tail up on the back. This figure has an angular style of the legs, which gives it a very modern appearance! There are three rows of hei-shi beads separating the front and back of the piece. The back has two areas that are two-toned sienna and inset with two pieces of Kingman turquoise. The mountain lion has inset hei-shi beads for eyes. The Mountain Lion is signed on the bottom.
