Painted Ponies Navajo Black Summer 2007 This pony is in the original box with tag. The Trail of Painted Ponies Navajo Black Beauty Summer 2007 Artist: Barbara Duzan As well as for their famous rugs, Navaho weavers are known for their beautiful, pictorial, basket weavings. Many illustrate themes and tell stories that preserve Navajo history. Barbara Duzan, an Arizona artist who has distinguished herself internationally with her one-of-a-kind, beaded animals, wanted to pay special tribute to this unique tribal tradition by beading a Pony that carried "Man Placing the Stars," a Navajo creation myth, on one side of her Pony, and "Sun's Journey through the Sky" on the other. Each design is rendered in the Navaho basket weaver's style. As an artist, Barbara Duzan pursues two art forms - she creates bronze wildlife sculptures, and one-of-a-kind beaded animals (one of which took first prize in a competition held by a Japanese bead company that won her a trip to Japan). She lives at the northern edge of Scottsdale, Arizona, surrounded by the unspoiled beauty of the Sonoran Desert, and is an associate member of: American Women Artists, American Academy of Women Artists, and Women Artists of the West If the Painted Pony on this auction is a first edition, we will make note of that in the description.
