Label TextAlthough horses are the best known of the T'ang pottery figures, the camels which are found in many different styles are also highly regarded. In comparison to the slightly earlier Six Dynasties horse (opposite wall), this pottery figure of a camel announces the more natural approach of the T'ang potter as well as his extensive range of T'ang glazed animal figures.
