EDITORS COMMENTS
This Funerary Sculpture of a Horse and Rider, dating between the 7th and 10th centuries, is an enigmatic masterpiece from the Tang Dynasty of China (618-906 AD). The sculpture, created during the height of China's cultural and artistic achievements, is an exquisite example of ancient Chinese art. The horse and rider are depicted in a lifelike and dynamic pose, with the rider skillfully mounted on the horse's back, holding the reins with one hand and brandishing a whip with the other. The horse, with its powerful and muscular form, shows the mastery of the unknown artist in molding earthenware. The intricate details, such as the horse's mane and tail, and the rider's clothing and accessories, reveal the high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail. The sculpture was likely used as a funerary artifact, reflecting the importance of horses and equestrian culture in ancient China. This magnificent piece is now on display at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to captivate visitors from around the world and inspire appreciation for the rich cultural heritage of China.
