AN UNUSUAL AMBER-GLAZED POTTERY FIGURE OF A BACTRIAN CAMEL
SUI DYNASTY (AD 581-618)
The amber-glazed camel is shown standing foursquare on a rectangular base, with mouth slightly open and head turned slightly to the right. The underside of the neck, top of the head, and upper portion of the forelegs are roughly textured to suggest thick hair. The back is laden with unglazed saddle bags centered on each side by a large bulging pack, the whole covered with a blanket and bound with a buckled strap continuing under the tail.
