The importance of the horse in the history and culture of China can be viewed, in part, through the artistic legacy of this great civilization. In sculpture, painting, and literature, horses were glorified and revered. Horses were believed to be related to mythological dragons, reflecting their sacred status within society. During the unification of China under the Han Dynasty, bands of mounted nomadic warriors from the north threatened the country. In order to thwart their attacks, the Chinese sought to import stronger, faster steeds from Central Asia (as opposed to the Mongol ponies used by the invaders), eventually leading to the creation of the Silk Road. This small sculpture of a mounted soldier reveals the crucial military role of the horse. When compared to the diminutive stature of the rider, the importance of the horse becomes readily apparent. This creature provided security and strength, allowing the empire to secure its borders and expand its influences across Central Asia. 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...

Large Tobey Ceramic Signed American Southwestern Modern Buffalo Sculpture
By Tobey
Located in Forney, TX
A uniquely brilliant American ceramic sculpture capturing the essence of a buffalo, in southwestern modern style by celebrated husband and wife artists Gene (1945-2006) & Rebecca Tobey (b.1948).
This large sculpture dates to the late 20th century, decorated in rich polychrome design depicting lizard and dessert mountainous / southwestern landscape in mixed media glazed and matte finishes. Reticulated design to buffalo's back. Open panels revealing red glazed interior add depth and dimension, raised and incised exterior decoration. Signed, "Tobey" to the foot. Bottoms of feet covered in soft felt. Truly a remarkable artistic example.
circa 1990s. Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Dimensions (approx):
21" High, 21.5” Wide, 12” Deep
---
About the artist:
The collaboration began with Rebecca acting as assistant on Gene’s sculptures, which evolved from dishes and practical ceramics to highly stylized animals. “She was my glaze technician,” Tobey explained, meaning the person who applies the glazes before firing. The sculptures in the mid-1980s were an interesting combination of techniques. Gene Tobey...

Carved Limestone Horsehead from Italy
Located in Dallas, TX
Hand-carved by an Italian stone mason, this quaint limestone horsehead has excellent proportions. The contour of the cheek, the thick mane, and the slightly open mouth give the head a sense of realism. Carved with amazing precision, the horse can stand upright (face up) without the aid of a stand. Of course, it can also be hung on a wall in the proper orientation. Decorative horse heads of this size were often seen hanging on the exterior wall of a horse barn.
