Horses in Tang-dynasty China were admired for their speed, tenaciousness, and intelligence, and not only were they important in the realms of travel and war, they also played a big role in the leisure activities of the noble, such polo horses for sport and trained dancing horses for entertainment. It was from this great love of horses that we see impressive tomb figures of horses standing foursquare, prancing (such as the current lot), and mid-gallop bearing a polo player in action. The vivacity of the current lot is expressed in its open mouth, alert expression, prancing posture, and the modelling of the jingling bells that decorate its harness. Compare prancing horses that are also elaborately decorated sold at Sotheby’s New York, 15 March 2017, lot 599, Christie’s New York, 20 September 2005, lot 174, and a further horse 4 June 1992, lot 233.
