  Superbly modelled painted pottery figure of a standing camel

Tang Dynasty, 618-906AD
Stock Number: cm064/0808
SOLD

A superbly modelled, painted pottery, figure of a standing camel. The camel with realistically modelled pose, head turning back with mouth open, attacking a playful monkey who is seated on the rear of the large pack which sits between the humps. This is a superb realistic portrayal of a heavily laden camel, an animal that was an important part of China's trading life along the Silk Road.
