This unusual pottery model of a horse, one of the twelve animals of the Chinese calendrical cycle, was made in the 12th - 13th century, during either the Song Dynasty (AD 960 - 1279) or the Yuan Dynasty (AD 1279 - 1368). It is made from a relatively highly-fired grey pottery with the details having been individually sculpted as opposed to having been formed by a mould. It has been excavated from a Buddhist site in Yunnan province.
Length 16.5 cm. It is in fine condition and has no restoration or repair.
For information: this figure is one of many items from a late private Sussex collector we have recently acquired, several of which, including this one, we actually sold ourselves over twenty-five years ago (our original price labels with stock numbers were still on the items !).
