Mingqi in gray terracotta with white slip and polychrome, representing a Bactrian camel, ridden by a court lady.
Very good state of conservation.
Please note that all ancient Chinese terracotta sculptures were placed in the graves of the deceased to accompany them in their afterlife. They were subsequently extracted there and may therefore present wear, lack of polychromy or even restorations.
Representations of mounted camels are extremely rare, especially when the camel driver is removable and in these dimensions!
A thermoluminescence test accompanies this sculpture.
China, Tang dynasty (618 - 907)
