- Lot Description
East Asia, China, Ming Dynasty, 1368 to 1644 CE. A very fine blackware Mongolian horse, depicted standing upon a rectangular plinth, with a substantial saddle on its back, well-delineated reins, long mane, and a proud visage. This realistic horse would have been placed in a tomb, a reminder of the Ming court's trading relationship with the Mongols. Mongol missions to the court often presented the emperor with horses and other animals in exchange for silk and other textiles, silver, and paper money. The Mongols even established horse markets within China, one at Kaiping and one at Kuangning, in the early 15th century. These strong steeds in turn empowered the Chinese economy. Size: 10.875" L x 4.5" W x 11.5" H (27.6 cm x 11.4 cm x 29.2 cm)
Provenance: private Hawaii, USA collection; ex Brown and Kobashi collection, Hawaii, USA, acquired in Hong Kong in 1989 from Chow Su San Antiques Co. LTD
