Qing Dynasty ‘Tang Horse’ Bronze Statue
Revival of Tang Horse Bronze during 18th & 19th Century China
This beautiful Qing horse sculpture is a bronze replica of an authentic artifact dating to the Tang dynasty. During this period, the horse formed the backbone of the Chinese military and economy and became a powerful symbol of imperial China that featured in many of its artworks. Horses were also bred for recreation and leisure, and both polo and dressage became fashionable activities among the wealthy and powerful. This stately statue features an ornate saddle and bridle.
