PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — An artifact belonging to South Dakota’s Cultural Heritage Center is now on display at a world-renowned museum in New York City.

South Dakota’s Sioux Horse Effigy is being showcased at the Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of an exhibition of Plains Indian masterworks.

“The Plains Indians: Artists of Earth and Sky” includes more than 130 works of art from 57 European, Canadian and American institutions as well as private collections. Featured works range from a 2,000-year-old human-effigy stone pipe to contemporary paintings, photographs and a video-installation piece.

Some of the pieces on display are robes painted by early Plains Indians and masterworks collected in the 18th century by European explorers.

The exhibit runs through May 10.
