Horse and rider. With TL test.
The Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD) was one of the greatest in Imperial Chinese history. The Tang Era is heralded as a golden age. It witnessed the prosperity of culture, economy, diplomacy and politics under a unified government.
The horse played a prominent part since the earliest times in the life of the Chinese people. The horse itself was a potent image during the vigorous expansion of the Tang age. Chargers such as this one were both the reward of military expeditions, and the foundation of imperial stability that would in turn encourage trade and prosperity over a vast empire. Horses also were a sign of wealth: strict sumptuary laws limited the use of the horses to people of a certain rank.
This colourful piece was restored at the right rear hoof.
