This beaded Spirit Pony has been handcrafted as
a tribute to the great
horse cultures of the Northern Plains.
Originally, animal fetish amulets were created to watch
over and empower their wearer.
Horse effigies were
also a way to honor a pony
that holds a special place in
one’s heart. Each of these ponies is made with traditionally
tanned leather
and stuffed with either buffalo hair or wool.
The Symbols incorporated into the various ponies
were meant
to reflect exploits of horse & rider,
bestowing powers from the Great Spirit upon the pony.
Hand stitched leather with extensive detailed beading on front, leather on back." The artist embellishes each enchanting pony with manes & tails of horsehair, fur and Buffalo hair.
