EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Chinese Tomb Figure of Horse and Rider from the Tang Period in the 8th century. The Tang Dynasty is widely recognized as a pinnacle in Chinese history, representing an era of flourishing civilization and cosmopolitan culture. During this period, two censuses estimated the population to be around 50 million people, reflecting the empire's prosperity. The sculpture itself depicts an exquisite horse with its rider mounted on top. The attention to detail is awe-inspiring, capturing both the grace and strength of these majestic creatures. The vibrant green color adds an element of vibrancy to this ancient artifact. As we delve into its historical significance, we are transported back in time to witness burial customs during this era. This tomb figure symbolizes not only death but also serves as a testament to honor and respect for those who have passed away. The artist skillfully portrays both animal likeness through the horse's form and human likeness through the male rider's features. It is evident that great care was taken in creating such a lifelike representation. This print allows us to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship that flourished during one of China's most prosperous periods while providing us with a glimpse into their rich cultural heritage.
