Tang dynasty (618-907)
Standing in a triumphant pose atop a recumbent bullock on a pierced rockwork base, his arms poised as if holding a bow and arrow, his unglazed face turned to the left and modeled with fierce expression, moustache and goatee, wearing a tall helmet and full armor with dragon's head epaulets at the shoulders, splash-glazed in amber, green and straw
