This finely sculpted Han Dynasty pottery horse and rider dates back over 2,000 years, to China’s Han period (206 BC – AD 220). The horse stands tall and alert, with muscular legs and well-defined features, while the rider sits upright in a commanding posture, arms bent as if holding invisible reins. The figure is made of grey pottery and retains traces of its original mineral-based pigments in red, black, and white, which were applied in the ancient "cold-painted" technique.
Such ceramic figures offer insight into Han-era craftsmanship and reflect the cultural value placed on horses and mounted figures during this prosperous imperial period.
Height : 52cm
Provenance : Private Collection from London
這件漢代彩繪陶馬與騎士塑像距今已有兩千多年，製於中國漢朝時期（公元前206年至公元220年）。陶馬四蹄穩健，姿態挺拔，騎士正襟危坐，雙臂自然彎曲，似正持韁控馬。整體以灰陶塑成，表面保留紅、黑、白等礦物顏料的彩繪痕跡，為古代「冷繪」技法之遺存。
此類陶俑彰顯漢代對馬匹與騎兵的重視，也體現當時陶藝技術與審美理念。
