This bronze horse is very similar to a painted pottery example dated to the Yuan dynasty, from Weiqu in Chang'an county, Shaanxi province, and now in the Shaanxi History Museum, illustrated by Bill Cooke (ed.) in Imperial China: The Art of the Horse in Chinese History, Lexington, Kentucky, 2000, p. 164, no. 155, where it is noted that the large oval saddle skirt is typical of the Yuan dynasty, and the horse is identified as being of Mongolian type.
