Tang Sancai Pottery Horse

Tang Sancai Pottery Horse

       Tang horse sculptures broke away from the stable and archaic style of the Qin and Han dynasties, becoming renowned for their lively and spirited postures. Various Sancai horses unearthed from Tang tombs, despite their diverse forms, all share characteristics of small heads, round hindquarters, well-proportioned bodies, and robust physiques, reflecting the physique of horses from the Western Regions at that time. This horse figurine boasts a powerful form, uniform glaze, and natural posture, making it a rare masterpiece among Tang Sancai horses. It embodies the cultural classics of the Silk Road and is a shared cultural heritage of humanity.
