Ceremonial Pony

Cathy Smith is a historian and scholar of the American West. She is also an authentic costumer who has worked on such films as Dancing with Wolves and All the Pretty Horses. Her original Pony was adorned with a Crow woman's Horse Trappings Outfit, circa 1870s. The keyhole-shaped ornament on the forehead was a classic Crow design, the beaded rosette surrounded with horsehair tassels and wrapped in dyed cotton string. Made to carry a short buffalo lance or captured cavalry sword, the case was fashioned out of buffalo rawhide painted with natural earth pigments. Outfits similar to this are still paraded today at the Crow Fair in Crow Agency.

Occasionally a tag or box might have shelf wear, a slight crease or discoloration to it.  This box does show majpr shelf ware.  Please see pics.  I do not consider these to be damaged as this is the way I receive them and there is nothing that can be done about it, sorry! Please note that some ponies may have minor imperfections or show signs of touch-up, such as under-paints or over-paints (as most ceramic and some resin pieces do) that occurred during manufacture, as each one is hand painted. If you have any questions, please ask before bidding, as ponies are sold as is.
