The Tang Dynasty (618 907 AD) was one of the most brilliant periods in China's long history. It was characterized by a golden age in arts, literature, design and culture. Yang artisans favored the
horse because of its remarkable values and skills in both farming and battle. This
Tang Horse statue reflects the famous tri-color drop glaze technique perfected during this era. Ceramic horse statues were included in the tombs of the Tang Dynasty to ensure that the dead enjoyed the pleasures of life on earth.
Horse statues are made in appreciation of this noble four legged animal. Horses have contributed much in bringing Chinas economy back on track, and this is one reason that one would find horse figurines in almost every Chinese household or office. One more reason why horse statues are placed in houses is that the horse is a symbol of 7th Chinese zodiac sign. In China, there are many horse statues available that are rich in craftsmanship. The artistry and expertise have, in some sense, made horse figurines popular.
