English term or phrase: portable work of art

A frase é: "Small or portable works of art have been found throughout the area inhabited by European hunters 30,000 years ago."

Gouveia

objectos de arte portáteis

Explanation:
Apesar de "work of art" ser normalmente traduzido por "obra de arte", penso que não se adequa por completo nesta frase. Em todo o caso, na minha pesquisa encontrei também a distinção entre "obras de arte" e "objectos de arte" no mesmo texto.

Teresa Borges: Pergunto-me até se não se trata de artefactos...

-> Obrigado, Teresa! Sim, poderia dizer-se "artefactos" ("artefacto - objecto produzido por trabalho mecânico ou manual" - DLP Porto Editora), mas julgo que o seu sentido está contido em "objectos", mais lato.
