1. Haflinger Horse

Anthropology is an “intradisciplinary” field, and anything that has to do with humans—across space and through time—is fair game for study.
3. Tschaggättä
This mask is part of a costume tradition from the Valais region of Switzerland, where I have done fieldwork. Figures wearing such masks chase away the evil spirits of winter just before Lent.
4. Wyoming Coal
Less energy content than a similar piece of West Virginia coal, but also less sulfur. There are always tradeoffs. I taught at the University of Wyoming for 24 years.
