Signature Collectie Han Style Earthenware Horse – Decorative Terracotta Statue

Han Style earthenware horse

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. Typically made of terracotta, they are characterized by their graceful posture, elaborate harnesses, and sometimes even painted decorations. These works of art offer insight not only into the artistic skill of the Han period but also into the cultural and social values of the time.
