- Lot Description
**First Time At Auction**
East Asia, China, Tang Dynasty, ca. 618 to 907 CE. A hand-built pottery terracotta horse and rider of a beautiful presentation covered in white pigment. The regal rider wears flowing robes and faces forward in his saddle with a slightly upturned head meant to display his pinched facial features and bulbous courtier hat. The sizable horse beneath the rider lays bare its powerful physique and is shown standing with three of its four limbs. The equine head is raised and attentive in front of an incredibly muscular neck and exhibits one perky ear, a squat mane tracing down the neck, and a tapered snout that terminates with flared nostrils and a slender mouth. Size: 9.8" L x 3.8" W x 9.7" H (24.9 cm x 9.7 cm x 24.6 cm); 13.4" H (34 cm) on included custom stand.
Provenance: private Cary, North Carolina, USA collection; ex-Victor Chio collection, Hong Kong, China, before 2002
