Description:  This is a wonderful horse fetish showing a nice, shiny and warn patina.  The horse mane is discernible with 4 slanted cuts each side showing its flow. The horse head is sweetly tucked into its chest which is a very definable posture and helps to further pinpoint the horse in this fetish.  The turquoise has brown inclusions making for a very interesting surface pattern. The two eyes are delineated by two small depressions into the stone.
