Lot details

China, 618-907. The spirited horse is shown with left foreleg raised, the head well modeled with open mouth, flared nostrils, and expressive eyes below the pricked ears, the gracefully arched neck carved on one side to suggest the combed mane.

Provenance: Ancient collection in Milan, by repute acquired around 1900, and thence by descent within the same family. An important Italian private collection, acquired from the above.
Condition: Some repair and touchups as generally expected from Tang dynasty excavations. Losses, fissures, and encrustations. Minor firing flaws, such as firing cracks, glaze flakes, glaze recesses, and dark spots. Drilled holes from sample-taking. Overall, very good condition.
Scientific Analysis Report: A thermoluminescence sample analysis has been conducted by Archeolabs TL, Saint Bonnet de Chavagne, France, reference no. FH-06-12-02-01-TL, dated 2 April 2006, and is consistent with the suggested period of manufacture. A copy of the thermoluminescence analysis report accompanies this lot.
