A classic example of her fetish carving work circa 1990’s. Ellen was the matriarch of the Quandelacy family of carvers….. She was known for showing the gender of her horses, as you can see this is a stallion. Note two small holes by the rear of the horse… This was to show the gender of the horse….. Her horses are highly sought after. Made for a pendant or necklace, with hole as shown…. Or for a stand alone carving. Still has a beautiful polish to the turquoise.
