Bronze Painted Horse with Feathers and Horse Hair Tassel

Painted Horse pendant in Bronze with Assymetrical Feathers & Hair Tassel 2 1/2" length. On a Plaited Horsehair Cord Neckpiece.

"In a wonderful book by Pony Boy Gawani, a respected Native American horse trainer, traditional horse painting is explained. A ring around the eye area increases visual acuity. Painted spots represent hail, a symbol made popular by Crazy Horse. Hoofprints represent journeys, travels (raids), victories (counting coup), successful undertakings."
---Brooke Stone

Each fine hand-cast silver, bronze, and copper Totem creation that Brooke Stone crafts is jewelry with meaning. Every piece tells a story about an animal, describing the animal's place in its environment, its place in the great wheel-of-life, or its meaning to us as humans, through mythological imagery.

Because Brooke casts only once every 3-4 months, the number of pieces we can order is limited -- items that aren't in stock may take 3-4 months (ask about availability in the comments section of your order or via email), but when you get your hands on the finished product, you'll appreciate every painstaking moment she took to create such a piece of art.
