"NATIVE JEWEL" PONY

From The Trail of Painted Ponies.

Artist: Maria Ryan

Adornment – jewelry of silver and turquoise, beadwork and ceremonial regalia – is a defining element and recognized hallmark of cultural expression for North American Indians. Maria Ryan - an accomplished artist and designer from Coeur d’Alene, Idaho - has been winning awards and pleasing collectors around the world for decades. Her research into the meanings and symbolism behind the designs used in classic Southwestern jewelry, coupled with a fearless artistic style that leads her to experiment with different materials to achieve special effects in her art, resulted in this stunning tribute to the Native American love of jewelry.

The Trail of Painted Ponies Figurines are taking the country by storm - both as unique collectibles that give people another way to love horses, and as gifts that send meaningful messages to family and friends.
