Pair of terracotta funerary horses, Tang Dynasty (618–907 AD) PURCHASED AT A PRESTIGIOUS GALLERY IN 2007 FOR HK$145,000 SEE INVOICE China, Tang Dynasty. Important pair of funerary sculptures molded in terracotta representing bridled horses in a marching pose. The figures feature elegantly arched necks, finely worked heads and carefully defined saddles, reflecting the extraordinary relevance that the horse attained during the Tang Dynasty, a period of cultural splendor and military expansion of the Chinese Empire. The surfaces retain abundant traces of original polychromy in cream, ochre and reddish tones, characteristic of Tang funerary production. These sculptures formed part of the grave goods deposited in the tombs of members of the aristocracy and senior officials, symbolizing prestige, wealth and social rank. Both pieces are accompanied by thermoluminescence reports issued by Oxford Authentication Ltd., whose results are compatible with the proposed Tang chronology. Examples of notable sculptural quality and excellent decorative presence, representative of one of the brightest periods in the history of Chinese art. Measurements: * 55.8 × 50.7 × 20.7 cm * 55.1 × 52.5 × 19.5 cm #Orientalism
