From The Trail of Painted Ponies, Peppermint Twist.
Made of resin. Measures 6.75" high.
Artist: Leslie Gates
According to legend, candy canes were created to
symbolize Jesus, their shape representing the letter J.
But to most people, the hard, cane-shaped candy,
traditionally with red and white stripes and flavored
with peppermint, is as much an ornament as a confection
- a sweet treat to munch as well as to decorate a tree.
The artist who created this tasty Holiday Pony hails
from Alabama keeps out a bowl of candy canes and swirls
at Christmastime - and often long past.
