Product Information

Enesco. Trail of Painted Ponies Collection. Artist: Aloma Wolfington and Kami Cain. If you've read my descriptions of other ponies/horses from this collection, you may have realized that I love it. I have always loved horses and I find their use as a background to additonal artistry an amazing and wonderful combination. This is specifically true in a piece like this that combines one love, horses, with another, Nativity Scenes. The main horse is covered in a beautiful blue night sky color and stars and sparkles cover the horse. The main scene is found on its body, the desert sands, the silhouettes of the well known Nativity scene characters, including the animals - and the back shows the Three Wise Men on camel back. Truly beautiful, I can't say enough about it! It will surely be a delightful addition to your nativity scene, or painted ponies collection, or will make a wonderful Christmas gift to anyone who loves either, or both horses and Nativity scenes!

About the piece; "The story of the Magi is celebrated each Christmas. Three Kings from the East, followed a radiant star that guided them to Bethlehem where they laid precious gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh before the baby Jesus. Many believe that these precious gifts brought to the Christ Child by the Three Wise Men, may be the origin of the custom of gift-giving at Christmas, which has become universal."

Dimensions: 6.3" H x 2.5" W x 8" L

About The Trail of Painted Ponies Collection, from the Enesco site: The Trail of Painted Ponies was born and bred in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It began as a public art project that invited artists to transform life-size horse sculptures into original works of art. The collection explores the inspirational power of the horse by giving artists the opportunity to paint and embellish elegantly designed horse sculptures, which are crafted into highly detailed, collectible figurines that honor the spirit and capture the power, beauty and magic of the original artworks.
