Mingqi tomb figure. Made from a buff ceramic that is unglazed earthenware. The figure depicts a horse of European or Bactrian species standing on a rectangular base. The horse is wearing a saddle that has a scratched meander boarder and tassel like shapes. The horse is painted with white gesso, the harness and saddlery overlaid with yellow and green pigments, and the mane with pink wash, most of the colour gone. On the underside of the horse's stomach is a large hole for drying the ceramic. The right ear has been restored.
