EDITORS COMMENTS
This Funerary Sculpture of a Horse and Rider, dating between the 7th and 10th centuries, is an exquisite example of ancient Chinese art. The creator of this masterpiece remains unknown, but it is believed to originate from the Tang Dynasty of China, during the 618 to 906 AD period. The sculpture is made of mold-built earthenware with a white slip painted surface, showcasing intricate details and vibrant colors. The figure of the rider, dressed in traditional Chinese attire, sits confidently atop his horse, demonstrating the advanced equestrian skills of the time. The horse, with its powerful and muscular form, is meticulously crafted, revealing the artist's exceptional skill in modeling the animal's anatomy. This sculpture was likely created for funerary purposes, reflecting the high social status and wealth of the deceased. The horse and rider motif is a common theme in Chinese art, symbolizing strength, power, and the connection between the living and the afterlife. Now on display at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), this sculpture is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of China and the enduring influence of its ancient art on contemporary art and culture. The Horse and Rider sculpture is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, history, or the development of equestrian art throughout the centuries.
