About the Item

A fine pottery model of an ox and cart, Northern Qi Dynasty (550 - 577 AD), China. Realistically molded, the ox displays wonderful musculature and elements of a harness system. With one fore and one rear leg bent, he conveys a sense of motion, eternally walking forwards to pull the cart behind him. A wooden yoke would originally have attached the ox to the cart, but has long since rotted away. The cart features oversized spoked wheels and has a rounded roof with a long overhang to shelter the driver. Shutters enclose the front, offering privacy for any occupants. The back has one door open, revealing a plain interior. Presented on a custom black and clear acrylic stand. TL tested by Oxford Authentication.
