Chinese Tang Dynasty Painted Pottery Model of a Camel
About the Item
A powerfully sculpted Chinese Tang Dynasty pottery model of a camel. The camel is portrayed in a walking stance, long neck extended, with head held high, mouth askew chewing cud. The camel's humps are droopy, indicating it has just finished a long journey.
Molded from high fired gray pottery and covered in pigments. Tan for the smooth body, and a reddish brown for the textured hair. Much of the original pigment still remaining.
A sculpture such as this would have been made for a wealthy merchant, the camel a symbol of his earthly status and wealth.
