"Oha, Hopi Guardian of the North"  
(Bronze -- 17" x 10" x 8" -- Edition 1/30)
​

"The mountain lion is very sacred to the Hopi. He is a deity, a guardian of the tribe, to whom Hopis look for guidance. He is regarded as the strongest and most fearless animal and the greatest of hunters. His name, Oha, also refers to the black clays used in Hopi rituals, black representing strength." (From "Native Americans and American Lions" by Chris Bolgiano)
