[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 732858, member: 2844"]Ceramic standing horses were already made long before the Tang dynasty (618-907), but this one is a 20th century replica of a Tang dynasty horse. It is decorated with 'sancai' or three-colour glaze. It is lovely, I always like them, most people do.:) These are ceramic horses from the 3rd century BC, in front of a bronze carriage in the Qin emperor burial site: [IMG]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a0/Qin_bronze_chariot_two.jpg/800px-Qin_bronze_chariot_two.jpg[/IMG] There were a total of 670 terracotta horses buried along with the famous terracotta army.
