"Tewa Pony," by Pueblo artist Tom Tapia,
celebrates the geometric and animal designs that have adorned Cochiti
pottery for centuries.
Known for his pottery, painting, and day job
as a tribal policeman, this Tewa native has adorned his pony with
traditional designs. The sash represents good faith and fortune, the
blanket honors the horse as a bold and strong being, the eagle
represents good luck, and the handprint stands for the loving touch of
all creation.
