Chinese Tang Dynasty Terracotta Camel with TL
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.
A finely moulded Chinese Tang Dynasty light terracotta tomb figure depicting a naturalistically rendered Bactrian camel. The animal is portrayed standing on four legs and features two prominent humps rising from its back and a long neck which smoothly terminates into a slightly raised head. The mouth is presented open with the tongue sensitively painted in visible red pigment. The camel is shown carrying a saddle on an oval blanket or saddle cloth along with some baggage. Much of the original pigments, which would have been applied after firing, is still visible to the statuettes surface, including white, red, black and yellow pigments.
