This finely sculpted Tang dynasty white pottery horse and riderexemplifies the elegance and precision of Tang ceramic artistry. The horse stands confidently on a rectangular base, its muscular body, arched neck, and forward-tilting ears capturing the noble bearing so admired in Tang equestrian culture. The rider sits upright in a calm, composed posture, her hair tied in a high topknot, dressed in a closely fitted tunic, evoking the dignity of a Tang lady.
The figure is made from buff-white pottery with smooth surfaces and subtle contours. Though originally painted, most of the pigments have faded, leaving faint traces that suggest once-vivid detailing. The minimalist aesthetic that remains highlights the purity of form and the sculptural sensitivity of Tang potters.
Horse and rider figures such as this were widely admired during the Tang period, when horses symbolised military power, elite status, and cosmopolitan exchange via the Silk Road. This piece stands out for its refined modelling, quiet strength, and the lasting beauty of its pale ceramic surface.

此件唐代白陶馬與騎士俑雕塑工藝精湛，展現出唐代陶藝的高超水平與審美品味。駿馬穩立於長方形底座之上，身軀強健，頸部高拱，雙耳前傾，神態昂然，充分體現唐人對駿馬之崇敬與讚美。騎士端坐馬背，身姿挺拔，髮髻高束，身穿貼身袍服，氣質從容穩重，或為侍從或文吏之形象。
此作採用淡色陶土燒製，表面光滑，線條流暢。原本應施彩繪，今彩料多已風化殘褪，僅餘淡淡痕跡，反襯其素淨器形之美與雕塑本身的立體張力。
唐代馬與騎士陶俑深受當時貴族喜愛，象徵軍事威儀、身份地位與絲綢之路所帶來的國際視野。此件作品造型精緻、氣韻沉穩，是唐代陶藝中別具品格的佳作。
