This rare and attractive pottery model of a horse & rider was made during the Northern Wei Dynasty (AD 386 - 534). It has been "cold painted" in a base coat of a white pigment on top of which are traces of red and black pigments. The horse stands upright with its head turned a little to its left. The rider's body is also turned to its left with the right arm raised; note also the detail of the rider's clothing.
Height 27.5 cm. Some degree of repair to the more vulnerable parts such as the legs should, of course, reasonably be expected although any such repairs have been performed to a professional standard as none are obvious; a very good example.
