- Han Dynasty Polychromed Horse and RiderLocated in Dallas, TXA fine Han dynasty polychrome painted terracotta horse and rider. The warrior is dressed in orange and black on a black horse.

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
