From the Trail of Painted Ponies: Grandfather's Journey
Artist: Buddy Tubinaghtewa (Hopi)
Made of ceramic; Measures 6" tall
As a young boy growing up on the Hopi mesas of Northern Arizona, Buddy would accompany his grandfather, a Hopi war chief, as he made his rounds on the back of a donkey, checking on the corn fields and herding sheep. Years later, when he developed into a multi-talented artist, collected by enthusiasts from around the world, Buddy would credit his grandfather's gift for storytelling with the imagery -- Kachina figures, corn maidens, lightning storms -- that found its way into his cottonwood carvings, his mystical oil paintings and his fabulous Painted Pony.
