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.
