Beschreibung STYLE Small horse figure follows the Tang style aesthetic and tradition. The Tang dynasty favored full, rounded forms in art. This appears not only in horse sculptures but also in representations of people, especially court ladies. This shape simbolized health, abundance, luxury, stability, strength, status, so a slim horse would actually look poor or weak by Tang standards. During the Tang period (618-907), horses were extremely valuable. The empire relied on strong cavalry to control the Silk Road and defend its borders. Owning good horses meant military strength, status, and wealth. Artists therefore depicted horses as robust, muscular, and well-fed, which symbolized prosperity and imperial power. The Tang horse shape is often used for objects like this because it symbolizes good fortune and energy, as well as quick success or progress.
