Similar trappings can be seen on a small bronze horse dating to the Yuan-early Ming dynasty, 13th-15th century, sold at Christie’s New York, 18-19 September 2014, lot 1020, as well as on a Ming-dynasty gilt-bronze figure of a horse supporting a figure Guanyin, offered at Sotheby’s New York, 21-22 September 2005, lot 237. See, also, the 17th-18th century cloisonné enamel and gilt-bronze incense burner in the figure of a deer with similar trappings sold at Sotheby’s New York, 20 March 2007, lot 551.
