6th Century Bridle Harness Mausoleum Tomb Figure Earthenware Haniwa

EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the intricately detailed Haniwa Horse (image 2 of 3) from the 6th century AD, discovered in Japan. Haniwa horses were originally used as decorative burial figures for the royal and noble tombs of the Yayoi and Kofun periods. This particular horse, with its expressive features and lifelike form, is a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship of the unknown artist. The horse's head is adorned with a bridle, its ears pricked forward, and its eyes portray a sense of alertness and energy. The earthenware material, with its rich, earthy tones, adds to the horse's authenticity and connection to the natural world. The horse's harness is meticulously rendered, with intricate patterns and textures that suggest the use of various materials, such as ropes and metal fittings. This Haniwa Horse is now part of the extensive collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to captivate visitors from around the world. The horse's presence in the museum serves as a reminder of Japan's rich cultural heritage and the artistic achievements of the ancient world. The close-up perspective of this studio shot allows viewers to fully appreciate the intricacies of the horse's design and the skill of the artist who brought it to life over a thousand years ago.
