Cougar (Mountain Lion), great quality art by native artist Shane Flood Baker

Gorgeous Coast Salish wall art carving by Shane Flood Baker, a member of the Squamish Nation

Cougar (Mountain Lion)

Easy recognizable as one of Shane's pieces of art, the details, the clean lines, the expression, as always close to perfection since he is paying so much attention to details. Shane used bass for this carving. Have a look at the chip/knife marks - they also proof authenticity, talent and craftsmanship - truly highest quality carving - it's hand painted in vibrant colors. Made and prepared for wall hanging, hanger already attached, signed at the back. 

Measurements: 17 1/2" x 7 1/2" x 1/2"

Meaning: Cougars play a mystical and secretive role in Native American mythology. On the West Coast, some tribes believe seeing a cougar or hearing its screams is an evil omen, and cougars are often associated with witchcraft. On the other hand, among tribes on the East Coast, cougars are considered noble animals with powerful hunting skills. In the legends of these tribes, Cougar or Panther  sometimes features as a leader or warrior of the animal people. And among some tribes, Cougar is believed to have powerful hunting medicine and considered one of the six true directional guardians, associated with the north and the color yellow.
