SIGNED Trail Of Painted Ponies “ Fetish Pony” by Lynn Bean 1E/6287 - Retired

Signed by artist Lynn Bean - Trail of Painted Ponies Item# 12221 - 1E 6,287 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. Fetish Pony was a limited edition figurine. Made by Westland Giftware - released in 2006 and retired in February of 2011. The figurine measures approximately 5 3/4" tall, 7" long and 2 3/8" wide. The base is 5 1/2" long and 2 1/2" wide.
