Rare Chinese Northern Wei Dynasty Pack Horse (AD 386 - 534)

This rare and interesting pottery model of a pack horse, or pony, was made during the Northern Wei Dynasty (AD 386 - 534). It is made from a buff-coloured pottery that has been "cold painted" with a base coat of white pigment on top of which has been applied black pigment in places. Note the detail of the pack on its back that includes two water containers and a rabbit.

Height 25 cm, length 27 cm. It is in good overall condition. There is some surface wear, surface chips and loss of pigment and any possible repairs have been performed to a professional standard.

This is one of two we acquired around twenty years ago that we have not previously offered for sale (see also item MC189).
