The Trail of Painted Ponies - Fetish Pony, Retired

Welcome to The Trail of Painted Ponies, where the inspirational power of the horse is imaginatively expressed by some of the finest artists in the country. What began as a fantastic public art exhibition in Santa
Fe, New Mexico has expanded to new ranges with the introduction of a select line of high-quality figurines that honor the spirit of original Painted Ponies. Each Painted Pony is crafted with exquisite attention to
detail, and each is a miniature work-of-art in its own right, which is why Painted Ponies figurines have become one of the most beloved collectibles in America.

From trailofpaintedponies.com:

To Native Americans, a fetish is any object that possesses “spirit power.” They believe that when the object is treated with respect, the spirit that resides within can bring its owner good luck, good health and a harmonious life. With this in mind, Oregon painter Lynn Bean created an extraordinary “fetish pony” on which the spirit images of different horses seem to emerge from inside a sandstone carving of a host horse, who wears a “power pack” of feathers, beads and shells on its back.
