Tang tricolor camel

Tang tricolor camel

Tang tri-colored camel, an ancient Chinese pottery figurines art. It is a low-temperature glazed pottery made of clay, usually using yellow, green, white (or brown) and other glaze, hence the name "three colors". This style of pottery figurines prevailed in the Tang Dynasty (618-907) and was a treasure of the ceramic firing process at that time. Tang tricolor camels are mainly used as burial objects (ghost), reflecting the tomb owner's desire to enjoy a rich life in the grave. In the Tang Dynasty, the camel was an important means of transport on the Silk Road, known as the "ship of the desert".
