Misha's Spirit Horses are clay sculptures. They are fired in the kiln and have layers of acrylic paints and unique patinas. Each has such a unique personality, so each decorated horse has a fringed leather saddle, feathers, fur remnants and genuine turquoise nuggets. I then add dyed deer hair for the mane and tail. Turquoise is sacred to Native Americans and is considered a "protective" or grounding stone. I use vintage glass beads, tin cones and hand made fetishes as embellishments. A tiny medicine bag filled with healing and protective herbs and shards of pottery hangs from the saddle. Each "Spirit Horse" is given a Native American name, signed and dated and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.

Spirit Horses are one of a kind. Each American Indian totem animal is sacred. They are 12" - 18" tall, decorated with authentic turquoise, vintage beads, feathers, furs and horsehair. Shadow boxes are all 8" wide x 7" high and 2 1/2 " deep. Ready to hang on wall or comes with display stand.

Wild horses roam the desert, their thundering hooves echo in the canyons. Slipping into the twilight, the herd continues on its journey. As the dust settles, a shadow appears. Standing solitary in the moonlight. One horse remains. Indian legends call him the "Spirit Horse."

Creating "Spirit Horses" I wanted to capture all the unique elements that make horses sacred to Indian Warriors and all Native Americans. Sculpting each horse individually, I insure that each is unique and has its own personality. A circle painted around his eye helps the horse to see while the handprint symbolized ownership and the bond between man and horse.

Wearable art!! Spirit horses that can be worn as a pin or a pendant or just displayed on your wall as artwork. Beautiful 8" x 10" rustic shadow box displays your artwork.
