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.
