About the Item

Realized between 1368AD-1644 AD, this stunning documented horse figurine was realized in China during the Ming period. Executed using a Sacai glaze, the sculpture offers a cream colored equine figure with a muted matte black mane and tail. Parts of the glaze have been worn over the centuries revealing the light terra cotta beneath. The saddle has a terracotta hued seat, a black lattigo, gold stirrup irons; kelly green collar ropes and brick colored detailing throughout. This is a beautiful and important historical object, perfect for collectors of first rate antiquities as well as those with a penchant for exquisite objects. It is very good vintage condition, commensurate with age. The piece comes with a certificate of Authenticity from Hong Kong Art Craft Merchants Limited.
