  • polychrome equestrienne figurine tang pottery

Tri-color glazed pottery is the umbrella name of the polychrome glazed pottery of the Tang dynasty, mostly in yellow, green and white colors. This piece with a female figurine riding on a horse is vivid, realistic and lifelike. The horse has a slightly small head and stocky strong necks and shining eyes. Its hips are strong and round, and legs are long and slender. The horse has snow-white hair and its mane is combed neatly. The horsetail is tied into a small bun and the saddle decoration shows the utmost luxury. Its head slightly turns to the left, full of dynamic, just like a lifelike high bred steed in both expression and posture. The whole piece of the pottery is exquisite in workmanship and is a masterpiece of the tri-color glazed pottery of the Tang dynasty.
