A VERY RARE OXFORD TL TESTED CHINESE HAN DYNASTY PAINTED POTTERY CAMEL & RIDER, HAN DYNASTY (206BC - 220AD). Many ancient Chinese pottery models of camels are known but these tend to date to the later Tang Dynasty and very rarely have a rider. Pottery models of camels from as early as the Han Dynasty, such as this one, are extremely rare, let alone one with a rider. It is made from a grey pottery that has been "cold painted" in a creamy-white pigment, with pink pigment added on top for the camel. The camel is in the act of walking, head raised a little with mouth open, tail erect. The rider sits upright, hands together across the chest. It is quite large with a height of 39 cm (15.5 inches). With a Thermoluminescence Analysis Report from Oxford Authentication Ltd. confirming the period of manufacture.
Provenance: from a Sussex collection. No obvious sign of repair.
