Northern Qi Dynasty Pottery Model of an Ox and Cart
About the Item
A fine pottery model of an ox and cart. Realistically molded, the ox displays Fine musculature and elements of a harness system. With one fore and one rear leg bent, he conveys a sense of eternal motion. A wooden yoke would originally have been part of the setup as well, but has long since rotted away.
The cart features oversized spoked wheels and has a rounded roof with a long overhang to shelter the driver. Shutters enclose the front, offering privacy for any occupants. The back has one door open, revealing a plain interior.
TL tested by Oxford Authentication.

- Pair of Han Dynasty Pottery Horses and Equestrian RidersLocated in Dallas, TXA wonderful pair of Ex Sotheby’s painted Polychrome Equestrian Horse and Riders made from gray pottery, Presents beautifully and guaranteed authentic with provenance and COA. Measures: Height 11.5 inches and width 11 inches Condition: Possible professional restorations but not detectable. Provenance: Sotheby’s London. 16th November, 1999. Lot 12 (2 of 4 horses in that lot). Sotheby’s New York, NY September 14, 2019. The importance of the horse in the history and culture of China can be viewed, in part, through the artistic legacy of this great civilization. In sculpture, painting, and literature, horses were glorified and revered. Horses were believed to be related to mythological dragons, reflecting their sacred status within society. During the unification of China under the Han Dynasty, bands of mounted nomadic warriors from the north threatened the country. In order to thwart their attacks, the Chinese sought to import stronger, faster steeds from Central Asia (as opposed to the Mongol ponies used by the invaders), eventually leading to the creation of the Silk Road. This small sculpture of a mounted soldier reveals the crucial military role of the horse. When compared to the diminutive stature of the rider, the importance of the horse becomes readily apparent. This creature provided security and strength, allowing the Empire to secure its borders and expand its influences across Central Asia. The magnificent regalia of the horse, including a brilliantly painted saddle in red and green/gold, reflect the respect this animal received. The warrior as well is gorgeously decorated with a painted red tunic and gray chest...Category
