White Marble Horse by Andres Lementino

$ 120.00

A muted gray streaked white marble horse carved by Andres Lementino with turquoise inlaid eyes. Andres has carved the legs as two simplified forms with definition added around the horse's hooves and there are incised lines on the horse's mane and tail. A striking Zuni sun face is placed on the top of the horse's left front leg - inlaid with bits of mother-of-pearl, apple coral, turquoise and jet. The sun face has been given two eagle feathers as well - composed from bits of jet and mother-of-pearl. The horse represents the power of the animal world literally "harnessed" for the benefit of the human race. Horse medicine calls the self to expand one's own potential abilities, tethering control of the environment, inter-species communication and offers us a good example of cooperation. The Zuni believe the horse has healing powers.
