They are both beautiful works of art, but like the copies of European paintings inside snuff bottles, are they Chinese? Horses are a valid subject in Chinese art (eight horses of Mu Wang, my examples of a single horse or pair of horses (C-14, both bottle and also the accompanying painting; reverse of D-4) , etc.), but in a Chinese visual context. This one is obviously located in the American southwest. A pity, because otherwise, I'd be going after the horse bottle seriously. :-(
Shabbat Shalom, Joey
