A impressive, large
sculpture of a Prancing Horse from Tang Dynasty with the removable
saddle. The head slightly turned to the left.
During the T’ang
Dynasty, the adoration of the horse can be seen through their burial
art. Horse models excavated from mausoleums of the period are among
the most splendid and easily recognizable works of Chinese art.
This gorgeous sculpture is a testament to the
admiration and adoration the Chinese had for this marvelous creature.
