Carved stone horse Tang Dynasty style

During The Tang Dynasty horses were highly esteemed, symbolizing power, status, and military might, and were frequently depicted in tomb art and official commissions. These sculptures often showcased a remarkable realism and dynamism, capturing the spirit and musculature of the animals with great and high-status artifacts. While genuine Tang Dynasty jade horses are rare and exceptionally valuable, contemporary or later reproductions inspired by this style are more common. This example is 4.5”x2”x6.5”.
