TANG DYNASTY With its dynamic pose, the horse conveys a
lively sense of energy. the long elegant mane
well-modeled in spirited pose with a briskly and prancing position represent one of a highly
raised right foreleg, the head with well desirable and rare group of trained dancing
articulated features, mouth agape, flaring horses that were much in demand by the
nostrils, bulging eyes and a divided forelock Imperial household and its guests. a similar
swept to either side of the pricked ears, the figure from the albright-Knox art Gallery,
arched neck with full flowing mane falling just Buffalo, new York, was sold in these rooms, 15th
