About the Item

This dynamic hardstone carving depicts a powerful Chinese war horse rendered in the Tang Dynasty Revival style. Carved from Tree Agate (a variety of chalcedony), the sculpture displays the stone’s distinctive dendritic inclusions—branching patterns that resemble foliage—giving the piece an organic, natural beauty. Tree Agate is prized in Chinese decorative arts for its durability, fine polish, and symbolic connection to growth and vitality. The horse stands in a vigorous, rearing pose, its high mane and flared nostrils capturing a moment of motion and strength. Finely detailed harness and saddle elements reflect the Tang Dynasty’s artistic refinement, when horses symbolized power, nobility, and swift success.
