Product Description

Welcome to Qilin ArtX, where the robust elegance of the Tang dynasty gallops into your space – a horse not of war, but of wealth, power, and the confident spirit of an age that celebrated abundance.

The Horse of Tang Splendor
In the Tang dynasty (618–907 AD), the horse was more than a mount. It was a symbol of imperial might, of the Silk Road caravans that brought riches to Chang’an, and of the high‑living aristocracy that prized full, rounded forms in art as in life. The classic Tang sancai (three‑color) ceramics are famous for their plump, spirited horses. This sculpture takes that iconic form – the rounded rump, the thick chest, the strong, sturdy legs – and recasts it in solid brass. The horse stands in a poised, dignified stance, its head slightly turned, its mane cropped, its tail tied in the classic Tang knot. Its body is full and fleshy, its contours smooth, its presence undeniably wealthy and commanding. It is a horse that has never known hunger – only the finest grain, the most skilled grooms, and the open fields of an empire at its peak.

Handcrafted Details & Authentic Materials – The Lost‑Wax Method
This piece is a masterwork of classical form and foundry artistry, created using the traditional lost‑wax casting method, a process that allows for the capture of the finest textures and forms.

• Solid Brass Construction: Cast from high‑quality solid brass, the sculpture possesses a commanding weight (8.9 kg / 19.6 lbs) that speaks to its quality and permanence. The surface is finished with a hand‑applied high‑temperature patina – a warm, antique brass tone that evokes aged splendor, with subtle variations in color that develop over time.

• The Tang Silhouette: The horse is sculpted with careful attention to the distinctive proportions of Tang equine art. The hindquarters are rounded and full, the belly deep, the chest broad. The legs are short relative to the body, giving the horse a grounded, solid appearance. The hooves are small and neatly carved, the mane trimmed short, the tail knotted in the traditional style.

• The Face of Nobility: The horse’s head is held high, the ears pricked forward, the eyes wide and alert. The nostrils are flared, the mouth slightly open as if breathing in the scent of the open steppe. The expression is one of quiet confidence – a horse that knows its worth.

A Note on Craftsmanship
Each piece is handcrafted using the lost‑wax method, a meticulous process involving multiple stages of casting, polishing, and patination. The high‑temperature patina is applied by hand, resulting in subtle variations in color and texture that are not flaws but the unique signature of the artisan’s touch. Please note: this is a solid brass sculpture inspired by the form of Tang sancai horses, not a ceramic piece.
