Bronze horse, Warring States period, 29cm high. The horse's head is intricately and vividly shaped, with its body undulating to showcase its fat and robust physique, and a knot tied around the ponytail. This horse should be a burial artifact. In ancient times, death was regarded as life. In the tombs of Shang and Zhou nobles, there are often imperial officials and physical objects of chariots and horses unearthed. At this time, the animal images found in the tombs often appeared in the form of handicrafts, either as containers or as vessel seats; In the Warring States period, various types of Ming ware such as metal, pottery, and wood appeared. Although their shapes appeared antique, they marked the emergence of a new funeral system and laid the foundation for the growth and development of pottery shaped Ming ware in later generations.

The statue is located in Berlin's Tierra Garden. It was made of bronze by Berlin sculptor Louis Tuaillon in 1895, but was not installed here until 1906.

When the envoy sent to Central Asia returned to the court, he was amazed by this unique "heavenly horse". This robust animal has a strong back and shoulders, and works very hard, sweating profusely. Emperor Wu of China (141-87 BC) was fascinated by these stories and sent diplomats and later an army to obtain these horses. His interest in these extraordinary horses, as well as the increasingly important role of horses in military operations, largely indicates the popularity of horses in art since the Han Dynasty, especially during the rule of the Wu Kingdom. Bronze horses like this are placed in exquisitely decorated noble tombs.
