Horses carrying heavy packs have been found in Northern Wei tombs, such as a similar example from the tomb of Lady Gao, dated 524, in Quyangxian, Hebei provinces. See Kaogu, 1972, no. 5., pl. IX, fig. 2. See also the example from Wuqiao, Hebei, illustrated in Wenwu, 1984, no. 9, p. 25, fig. 7.

Compare, also, the pack horse in the Avery Brundage Collection at the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, included in the China Institute of America exhibition, Arts of the Six Dynasties, Cat. no. 36; the example illustrated by E. Schloss, Ancient Chinese Ceramic Sculpture, vol. II, pl. 44B; and the example from the collection of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Bernat, sold at Sotheby's New York, 7 November 1980, lot 41.
