Harold Davidson, Fetish, Horse, Alabaster, Oil Paint, Navajo Hand-Carved, 2 1/2"

This Zuni hand-carved horse fetish by Harold Davidson is skillfully crafted from warm-toned alabaster and detailed with oil paint accents. The horse’s flowing mane and expressive features capture a sense of grace, freedom, and strength, embodying its symbolic role as a spirit of endurance and loyalty in Zuni tradition. Adorned with vibrant beadwork in shades of turquoise, purple, and pink, the carving is further enhanced by a delicate feather accent, adding movement and texture. The polished alabaster surface contrasts beautifully with the natural stone ridges of the mane, giving the piece both visual depth and tactile appeal. Horses in Zuni culture are believed to provide stamina and safe journeys, making this fetish a meaningful keepsake. Davidson’s craftsmanship merges cultural symbolism with artistic detail, resulting in a work that is both collectible and deeply personal.
