A rare and large sancai-glazed model of a Bactrian camel
Tang Dynasty
Powerfully modelled standing four-square with its tall hair-lined neck reared back, the head raised and mouth open as if bellowing, the straw-glazed body surmounted by a brilliant green, chestnut and straw-glazed saddle flanked by elaborate bags relief-moulded on each side by a large bulging pack modelled as a large grimacing monster mask, surrounded by a raised border suggestive of leather outlined with a pleated scallopped fringe, the thick glaze running down the muscular legs, the camel covered predominantly in amber glaze, wood base. 54cm (21.4in) high (2).
