- Lot Description
East Asia, China, Ming Dynasty, ca. 1368 to 1644 CE. A beautiful mold-formed pottery equestrian figure with feet secured within the stirrups of an intricate saddle. The rider wears a collared shirt, flowing pants, point-toed shoes, and a fluted cap with a red-painted floral crest. The rider holds both hands out at his sides with his right hand holding either a conical megaphone or perhaps a handheld telescope. His removable head features almond-shaped eyes, a petite nose, puffy cheeks, and full lips. The attractive horse stands with four powerful legs atop an integral rectangular plinth, displays a neatly-combed mane, and wears intricate straps as well as a tasseled ornament around its chest and rear. Both figures are accentuated with thick polychrome pigment in hues of dark-blue, vermilion, wheat, jet-black, and marigold-yellow. Size: 9.2" L x 4.25" W x 12.5" H (23.4 cm x 10.8 cm x 31.8 cm).
Provenance: private S.S. collection, Los Angeles, California, USA; ex-private Copenhagen collection
