Ancient Chinese Painted Pottery Horse

Ancient Chinese Painted Pottery Horse

This is an ancient Chinese painted pottery horse, probably belonging to the period from the Northern Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty. It is a pottery figurine made of clay. The surface was originally decorated with painted decorations (such as red and white pigments), but most of them have fallen off due to age, revealing the plain tires at the bottom and some residual paintings. This craft was very common in ancient Chinese burial art. This realistic and vigorous image of horses prevailed in ancient China from the Northern Dynasties (such as the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty) to the Tang Dynasty (618-907). The depiction of horses in this period reached an artistic peak, reflecting the strong national strength and the emphasis on horses of the times.
