We were very new collectors when we spotted the work of Prudencia Quam. Her fluid style and her beautiful faces, whether badger, fox or mountain lion, drew us in and held us hostage!

This gorgeous mountain lion is made from dolomite and has a split personality. One side is completely tan and the other side is tan and brick red with a little bit of black in the stone. The lion is fairly long and measures over 4 1/2 inches, the stance is powerful, but not hostile, and as usual it has a beautiful face. The eyes are inlaid of turquoise and the fetish is unsigned, which is unusual.

Later works by Prudencia are signed VLPQ, which stands for "Vernon Lunasee and Prudencia Quam". We believe this piece is prior to their collaboration. We purchased this carving via an online vendor prior to going to Zuni in 1997.
