EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - model horses dating back to approximately 2000 BC. Crafted from earthenware by the skilled artists of the Indo Aryan School, these exquisite figurines stand at an impressive height of 50.8 cm. Preserved in the prestigious American Museum of Natural History in New York, USA, this artifact is a testament to ancient civilizations' fascination with animals and their artistic prowess. The image captures the delicate details and craftsmanship that went into creating these primitive toys. Made from baked clay ceramics, each horse exudes a sense of authenticity and realism despite its age. These models offer us a glimpse into early Indian culture and serve as evidence of their deep connection with nature. As we admire this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era when horses were not only essential for transportation but also held symbolic significance within society. These model horses served as both playthings for children and objects used in religious rituals or ceremonies. With its rich cultural heritage and historical value, this artwork stands as a testament to human creativity throughout centuries past. It reminds us that even simple toys can carry profound meaning and reflect our enduring relationship with animals – be it on farms or within wildlife settings.
