專家說明

A group of five hunting figures was discovered in the tomb of Yu Yin and Princess Jinxiang, in Xian, Shaanxi Province, and is illustrated in the Exhibition Catalogue, The Golden Age of Chinese Archeology (National Gallery Washington; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; and Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, September 1999-2000), p. 492, fig. 170.
During the Tang period, both men and women hunted actively and as spectators. There was a great interest in various forms of hunting introduced from abroad such as the use of dogs, cheetahs and lynxes to capture small animals and birds. The use of a falcon was more common practise during this period in China .
