The layered shades of soft grey, charcoal, and subtle earthy undertones give the piece depth and a sense of quiet strength.

Its turquoise eyes offer a vivid contrast against the muted stone, bringing life and spirit to the carving. The bright blue hue draws immediate attention, symbolizing protection, vision, and vitality.

Delicate etching along the body enhances the horse’s form, adding texture and storytelling detail. The fine incised lines accent the musculature and movement, giving the piece a dynamic presence while honoring traditional carving techniques.

Balanced and graceful, this marble horse embodies endurance, freedom, and strength — a powerful yet elegant addition to any collection.

Horse (Du:shi): Horse brought power to the People. After the horse arrived on the Plains, people were able to move faster with heavier burdens, they could hunt game more efficiently, and they became fiercer warriors. Horse affords mobility that gives us freedom and power, but not the power that weighs us down. We need to be mindful that the most positive relationships are cooperative ones. All participants must respect the power of others with acceptance and tolerance. Our relationship to Horse differs from relationships between man and any other animal because it is a relationship requiring a deep understanding, without which the strength and benefits of Horse are inaccessible.
