Kan-teen-a

Alabaster, a soft and delicate stone known for its luminous quality, has been intricately carved to portray the graceful form of a horse. The addition of the inlaid sun-face adds an element of mystique and symbolism to this carving, symbolizing power, vitality, and energy. 

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.
