馬自古以來被人們喜愛,傳統藝術對馬的塑造,一直連綿不絕,悠久的馬文化歷史中產生了許多關於馬的藝術作品,譬如東漢的馬超龍雀和唐代的昭陵六駿,皆是舉世聞名的名馬,駿馬在中國古代是作戰、運輸和通訊中最為迅速有效的工具,馬匹對於國家的強弱盛衰起著重要作用,可視為權勢與財富的象徵,因此唐代雕塑馬在工藝美術史中具有的與眾不同的神韻和氣質,而深受藏家喜愛。銅馬呈站立形態,以精銅圓雕鑄造,身軀健碩,頭面平直而偏長,雙目圓隆高凸,耳短,馬張口,若嘶鳴狀,頭部細節生動,十分警覺,四肢長,骨骼堅實,肌肉飽滿,脖子上的鬃毛做幾何化扁平處理,分披頸側,凸顯了馬的肥碩與健壯,一腳前探,發力欲奔,馬尾婉轉後揚,雄健有力,該件造型勻稱,威武雄壯,並無矯飾,鎏金厚重,金光燦燦,然肌肉線條塑造極具張力,呈現出一種雄渾壯麗的美感,頗顯古樸拙雅之風韻。
