This exquisite funerary sculpture of a horse, designated as 25-220, dates back to the Eastern Han Dynasty of China, around the 1st to 3rd centuries AD. The creator of this masterpiece remains unknown, adding to its enigmatic allure. Hailing from the ancient world, this earthenware artifact is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of China and Asia. Carved in the 1st century AD, this sculpture is a stunning example of the intricate decorative arts of the time. The horse figure is hand-carved and molded with earthenware, showcasing the exceptional skill and craftsmanship of the artist. The horse's muscular form, detailed mane, and expressive eyes evoke a sense of life and movement, making it a captivating addition to any art collection. Originally used as a funerary artifact, this equestrian sculpture would have accompanied the deceased into the afterlife, symbolizing power, wealth, and status. This horse figurine is a typical representation of the equine figures commonly found in Han Dynasty tombs. Now, this ancient artifact is a cherished exhibit at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the historical significance of Chinese art and the ancient world. The horse sculpture's vibrant colors and intricate decoration make it a standout piece in the museum's extensive collection, showcasing the beauty and richness of the Asian continent's artistic heritage.
