The horse modelled standing foursquare on a rectangular plinth, the head lowered slightly beneath a neatly cropped upright mane, with alert ears, bulging eyes and a closed mouth, richly caparisoned with a fitted saddle secured by broad harness straps, the chest strap suspended with stylized tassels and bell-shaped pendants, the flanks draped with saddle cloths hanging from ring-shaped fittings, and the haunches embellished with moulded palmette ornaments, all covered in a pale cream glaze with traces of red and black pigment remaining on the saddle and trappings.

Compare a pair of similarly caparisoned horses illustrated by Robert D. Jacobsen, , Minneapolis, 2013, pp. 152–153. Tombs yielding horses of this distinctive type have been excavated in Henan, Liaoning, and Anhui provinces. These horses represent an important stylistic transition between the more stylized equine sculptures of the Northern Qi dynasty and the increasingly naturalistic horses characteristic of the Tang period.
