微型马雕像
这是一件极为精致且罕见的微型马雕像。作品雕刻工艺成熟，马的造型虽然经过概括和简化，但依然能清楚地感受到马的力量感。肌肉线条处理细腻自然，使这件体量极小的作品看起来生动而富有表现力。
这样的微型雕像，可能被当作护符在仪式中使用或是在日常生活中随身携带。它有可能与某种与马相关的信仰或习俗有关，用来祈求繁衍顺利，或狩猎与行动的成功。
在大平原印第安人的社会中，马占据着极为重要的地位。马的出现，使他们能够迅速穿越北美中西部广阔的平原，不仅便于远行和作战，也极大提高了猎捕野牛的效率。虽然马是在16世纪初由西班牙征服者引入北美大陆的，但到18世纪末，大平原印第安人已经熟练掌握了对马的驯养与使用。
推测为大平原印第安人制作
材质：板岩，表面覆盖自然形成的包浆，呈现出长期使用和年代磨损的痕迹。
未发现现代工具加工的迹象；在高倍放大观察以及紫外光和自然光条件下，其表面状态与包浆均符合年代特征。
年代：19 世纪或更早
尺寸：长 3 厘米 × 高 1 厘米 × 宽 0.8 厘米

Miniature Horse Effigy
An exceptionally fine and rare miniature effigy of a horse. Carved with undeniable Maestria, the minute animal shows off its equine power through the extreme stylization of the animal and the fine modeling of the musculature. This minute effigy was possibly used as a charm both in ritual contexts as well as carried on the person in more mundane moments. It is possible that this minute masterpiece of sculpture was created for a type of “horse magic” that might enhance breeding or capture.
Horses were of the greatest importance allowing the Plains Indians to cover at speed the vast expanses of the Mid-West, traveling far to fight their enemies as well as hunting the great bison. The horse was introduced into the North American continent only in the early 16th century by the Spanish conquistadors yet by the end of the 18th century the Plains Indians had already mastered the horse to an undisputed degree.
Probably Plains Indians
Slate with a fine patina of wear and age. There are no traces of modern tools apparent and under high magnification and both UV and normal light the patina and surface are completely within time-line expectations.
19th Century or earlier
