Ceramic horse Han Style

Dimensions: 34x13xH22cm

The Han-style earthenware 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 deceased as grave offerings to accompany them in the afterlife. They are typically made of terracotta and are characterized by their graceful posture, detailed harness, and sometimes even painting. These artworks offer insight not only into the artistic skills of the Han period but also into the cultural and societal values of that era.
