Modeled in the style of Tang Dynasty tomb figures, this piece captures the strength and elegance of the prized steeds of ancient China.

The horse is handcrafted with a textured, crackled glaze in a rich, earthy palette characteristic of Sancai ("three colors") ware. The body features a dark, mottled brown-black glaze, while the saddle and trappings are accented with vibrant amber, cream, and hints of green. The horse stands proudly on an integrated rectangular base, with its mane and tail detailed in a slightly raised, sculpted fashion.

This piece is a fantastic statement for a bookshelf, console table, or a collector of Asian antiquities. It brings a touch of equestrian history and rustic elegance to traditional, eclectic, or Chinoiserie interiors.
