Two Chinese pottery figures on horseback, possibly Tang dynasty, each horse modelled on four legs upon a square platform, the figures atop with legs astride and raised arms, each grey in appearance and with remanence of white and red pigments, each 37cm high (2) (at fault) Footnote: Equestrian figures of this form, with the rider depicted wearing similar hoods and with arms held out as if to pull the reins, were probably part of a hunting group. Figures of this type were popular during the Tang dynasty and were an essential part of all tomb retinues.
