Compare the similar figure of an ox excavated from a Northern Wei tomb dated AD 524 illustrated in Kaogu, 1972: 4, pl. 19, and the ox with a cart from the tomb of Yuan Shao near Luoyang, Henan, dated to AD 528, illustrated in Kaogu, 1973:4, pl. 12:3. A very similar ox, minus the harness of the present figure, from the Yale University Art Gallery, is illustrated by J. Fontein and Tung Wu in Unearthing China's Past, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, 1973, p. 167, no. 82. Another ox with a similar type of harness is illustrated by A. Juliano in Bronze, Clay and Stone: Chinese Art in the C.C. Wang Family Collection, 1988, no. 40.

The result of Oxford thermoluminescence test no. 466h96 is consistent with the dating of this lot.
