EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite earthenware figurine, dated between the 2nd and 3rd centuries B.C., depicts a galloping horse from the Western Han Dynasty of ancient China. The horse, a common theme in Han Dynasty art, is expertly hand-carved and molded with intricate decorative details. The figurine's coat is meticulously painted with bold, geometric patterns, adding depth and texture to the piece. The horse's muscular form and dynamic pose suggest the influence of equestrian culture during this period. Originating from China, this ancient artifact is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Asia. The Han Dynasty, which ruled from 206 B.C. to 220 A.D., was a significant period in Chinese history, marked by political stability, economic prosperity, and artistic innovation. This horse figurine, with its vibrant colors and detailed craftsmanship, is a typical example of the decorative arts produced during this time. This rare and beautiful artifact is now part of the extensive collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it is displayed as part of their Asian art exhibit. The horse figurine is a reminder of the historical significance of the Han Dynasty and the enduring influence of Chinese art on global culture.
