Terracotta Clay Horse Sculpture

About the Item

A handcrafted terracotta horse in the style of the Tang Dynasty sculptural tradition. Much of the body of the piece is glazed with a dark indigo blue finish. Some fading in detailed areas provides visual accent and personality to the piece. The lower interior mid section of the piece is hollowed out partially. The gestural movement of certain features of this piece stand out compared to other similar pieces of this era. In good condition. Some gentle wear consistent with age and use. This majestic hand sculpted piece holds a visual and physical weight that would add strong personality to any living room/dining room space.
