Han Dynasty model q
of a celestial horse. This


 gure has much of the original 
pigments still in evidence. 
Made for the tomb of the

deceased, this horse would 
have represented the best of
the horses being bred by the 

Chinese, but enhanced 
with celestial qualities
such as an oversized

chest. Produced from 
206 BCE-220 CE.
