專家說明

A painted straw-glazed pottery figure of an equestrienne of this type, wearing a similar hat over a black scarf, and similar riding costume, is illustrated by James C.Y. Watt et al., China: Dawn of a Golden Age, 200-750 AD, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 2004, p. 291, no. 183. The figure was excavated from the tomb (dated 664) of Zheng Rentai, at Liquan, Shaanxi province, in 1971. The hat the rider is wearing is identified as a weimao. Another similar figure with the same long, narrow sleeves, also wearing a weimao hat over a scarf, was included in the Oriental Ceramic Society exhibition, The Arts of the T'ang Dynasty, London, 1955, pl. 33 (bottom right).
