Earthenware horse Han Style

Dimensions: 34x13xH22cm

The Han-style pottery horse is a beautiful example of Chinese ceramic art from the Han Dynasty (206 BC – 220 AD). This style is known for its detailed and realistic depiction of horses, which were considered a symbol of wealth and status at the time. The horses were often buried with the dead as grave goods to accompany them in the afterlife. They are usually made of terracotta and are characterized by their graceful posture, detailed harnesses, and sometimes even painted. These works of art not only provide insight into the artistic skills of the Han period, but also into the cultural and social values of the time.
