You are bidding on a "Squash Blossom",

A collectible horse figurine from The Trail of Painted Ponies series. Designed by artist Devon Archer, this Native American-themed piece features a dark horse adorned with traditional Southwestern elements, including a sculpted turquoise squash blossom necklace, matching hoof bands, and a colorful striped blanket drape. It was released as part of the winter 2015 collection and has since been retired.

Because it is stamped 1E/0999 (First Edition, sequence number 999), it is highly collectible and sits in a premium value bracket. A triple-digit 1st Edition under 1,000 typically commands a higher price and sought after by collectors.

• First Edition (1E) Status: The "1E" prefix signifies a First Edition. The Trail of Painted Ponies produces pieces in sequential production runs. Because 1E figurines are cast using the earliest and sharpest factory molds, they naturally carry a premium over later 2E or 3E runs.

•

• The Significance of 999: In the collector world, any number under 1,000 is officially classified as a "Low Number" piece. Low-numbered first editions are much harder to track down and hold their value remarkably well compared to mass-market numbers.

•

• Value Impact: Thanks to the 1E designation and a sub-1000 sequence number, this specific piece sits at the top tier of the valuation scale for the retired "Squash Blossom" model.
