Step back 1,300 years into the Tang Dynasty China.
Watch to discover this "Sancai", a ceramic innovation so precious it was reserved for the ancient elite. This rare hybrid figure was never meant for the living; it was a celestial zodiac guardian designed to escort its master into the afterlife with cosmic authority. Witness the startling brilliance of a masterpiece that has survived the Silk Road to remain as vibrant today as the day it was fired.
The Sancai Horse is offered in the Chinese sale on 5 May, 2026 in Sotheby's Hong Kong.
