Tang Dynasty
The two-humped Bactrian camel modelled striding with right legs forward, neck raised and mouth gaping open to reveal tongue and teeth above the hairy mane, the simple saddle modelled separately, the foreign rider perched above, the bearded face looking ahead with determined expression below the exotic peaked cap, both arms outstretched to hold reins, the saddle with pheasants and supplies for the long journey. 72cm (28 1/4in) high. (2).
Footnotes
唐 胡人騎駱駝陶俑
Tang dynasty pottery camels and their foreign riders reflect the cosmopolitan culture and commercial wealth of the period. These figures symbolised the lucrative trade routes connecting China with Central Asia, Persia, and beyond. The camels, laden with goods or accompanied by merchant riders, embodied both real and aspirational wealth, demonstrating the tomb owner's prosperity and connections. Placed in funerary contexts, they were intended to accompany the deceased into the afterlife, ensuring continued access to luxury, status, and the benefits of international commerce. See a related pottery camel and rider, Tang dynasty, illustrated in Pottery Figurine, Xi'an, 2014, p.131, no.174.
Compare with a related but larger pottery model of a camel and 'foreign' rider, Tang dynasty, which was sold at Bonhams London, 7 June 2021, lot 491.
