Medicine Horse Mask by Howard Terpning. It comes with a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) from The Greenwich Workshop. Medicine Horse Mask color_lens. Depicts three Crow warriors preparing for an adventure. The head masks (or face masks) worn by horses were usually made for leading warriors and were considered medicine objects that gave power, protection, and strength to the horse and its rider. The masks often had beautiful quill work, beads, and feathered adornment; and their design was sometimes inspired by a vision.

These spirits can promote health, wisdom, and even success in battle. The Greenwich Workshop. About the Artist color_lens.
