The Sun Dance was the most spectacular and important religious ceremony of the Plains Indians of the 19th century. It was designed to bring renewal, the spiritual rebirth of its participants, harmony between all living beings, and the return of the all-important buffalo. Artist Joyce Kennedy has incorporated many of the sacred materials and symbolic elements of the Sun Dance ceremony into this beautiful Sundancer Painted Ponies Figurine. A sage noseband, pictograph horses traveling from each of the four sacred directions, a white buffalo skull, and a war bonnet sun graphic represents the essence of the Sun Dance: renewal and balance, and the reaffirmation of relationships between people and nature. Made of resin.
