Object Description
A finely modelled Chinese Han Dynasty greyware head of a horse, probably once part of a larger statuette. The musculature of the horse is well defined, and most of the original pink slip remains. The prominent facial features, including the eyes, nostrils, gaping mouth and pricked ears, are marked by additional red and black pigments. Further black and white pigment outlines the jewelled bridle. The piece has been mounted on a custom-made stand.
