This silver plated bookmark in the shape of a horse head with engraved detail is inspired by the decorative architectural sculptures of horses that survive from the Hekatompedon.

Built on the position later occupied by the classical Parthenon, one of the Hekatompedon's surviving architectural elements, a metope, was decorated by four small horses. When the metope was intact, the horses drew a chariot with a charioteer driving it. The chariot and the driver would have been depicted in sculpted relief or painted on the now lost rear wall of this architectural detail.
