Spirit War Pony # 1462 is one of the earlier figurines from the Trail of Painted Ponies collection, and is made of ceramics rather than resin. It also has the distinction of being one of the only ponies I'm aware of with color on the bottom of the base. Designed by the artist Tavlos and made by Westland in the early 2000s, it was formally retired in February of 2005. The figurine itself measures approximately 6" tall, 7" long and 2 3/8" wide. The base is 5 1/2" long and 2 1/2" wide.
The Santa Fe artist Tavlos is credited with originating the famous howling coyote imagery that became a trademark of Southwest art in the '80s. Known for his bold colors and vivid designs, he took a pop 2024 art approach to the Native American tradition of painting their war horses, giving his Pony a turquoise coat and decorating it with dazzling accents.
This particular pony is number 6,369 from the 2nd edition. It comes with the original box, tag and packaging. The box was opened upon receipt to ensure everything was in order and undamaged, but has been stored in a closet in a non-smoking household ever since.
