Description
This standing cat is quite striking, displaying multicolored sacred symbols. It has an amazing large green eagle on its right side, a blue deer head on the front haunch and a ceremonial candle under the cat’s head. On the back is a large blue ceremonial arrow. There are large, gorgeous peyote in blue, green and yellow over the entire body.
The eagle represents Mother Eagle; Mother of the Sky and Queen of the Heavens. The deer spirit is said to have led the gods and goddesses into the new world through a tunnel from the chaotic sky world. The peyote symbolizes life, sustenance, health, success, good luck, and facilitates shamanic powers. The candle symbolizes the illumination of the human spirit.
Seen in real life this cat comes to life and is imbued with the Huichol connection to the spirit world. It is 4 1/2″ in tall and 3″ in diameter.
