A MAGNIFICENT AND LARGE PALE-GREEN AND SANCAI-
GLAZED CAPARISONED HORSE
Tang Dynasty
The thoroughbred horse of stately proportions standing four-square
on a rectangular base, the head naturalistically modeled with flared
nostrils and large eyes, the mouth gently closed, one ear unusually
and naturalistically flipped back as if responding to an insect, the
mane docked and neatly hogged along the spine, overall covered
in an attractive pale green glaze, a dark-green fur blanket thrown
across the leather saddle adding accents of color to the pale green
backdrop, the horse caparisoned with a leather bridle and straps
over chest and crupper, decorated with suspended leaf-shaped
medallions glazed in sancai colors of green, ochre and straw, which
runs in attractive dripples down the body, the plinth under the feet left
unglazed.
31 1/2in (80cm) high; 28in (71.4cm) long
