The "Official Autographed Editions" of 150 figurines
In response to requests from our enthusiastic collectors, we are delighted to announce that The Trail of Painted Ponies has created the only "Official Autographed Editions" figurines. Serious collectors have been searching for a way to collect figurines that are hand-signed and hand-numbered by the artists that created the original works of art from The Trail of Painted Ponies... Now they can, and they are available exclusively through our website store!
There will be seven Painted Ponies in the Winter 2009 Autographed Editions and each will be special:
It began with a solar eclipse on January 1, 1889: A Paiute medicine man named Wovoka had a vision that turned into a movement known as the Ghost Dance. Wovoka’s dream centered on a ceremony he believed would reunite the living with the loved ones in the ghost world, replenish the buffalo, and ultimately restore the world to its original beauty. In his memory, and as a tribute to this important chapter in American Indian history, Devon Archer, a Virginia artist, has created a Painted Pony inspired by the colors and symbols that can be found on the traditional Ghost Dance shirts and dresses.
