Important chinese terracotta sculpture of a camel, China Tang dynasty
About the Item
Mingqi in grey terracotta with white slip and polychromy, representing a Bactrian camel, ridden by a court lady.
Good condition.
Please note that all ancient Chinese terracotta sculptures were placed in the graves of the deceased to accompany them in their afterlife. They were subsequently removed and may therefore show wear, missing polychromy or even restoration.
Representations of mounted camels are extremely rare, especially in these dimensions and with a removable rider.
A thermoluminescence test accompanies this sculpture.
