It is rare to find an equestrian figure of this size holding an animal. Compare the example sold in New York, 13th March, 1975, lot 212 and the rider holding a greyhound in his outstretched arms sold 7th February, 1974, lot 162.

Standing figures wearing similar robes and holding a similar animal are illustrated by Hobson, Chinese Ceramics in Private Collections, fig. 65
