Green-glazed pottery horses of this dimension are very rare, and of the select few that have come up for auction, a very similar example was sold from the Jingguantang Collection at Christie's New York, 20 March 1997, lot 51.
In comparison, painted pottery examples are more common and have been found in Sichuan region cliff burials and published in Kaogu xuebao, 1958, p. 100, and in the Wenwu zilao congkan, no. 9, 1985, pl. VI:5. Sold examples include at Christie's New York, 4 June 1992, lot 208, and one with an inscription at Christie's New York, 3 June 1993, lot 159.
The result of Oxford Authentication Thermoluminescence Test number C117p19 is consistent with the dating of this lot.
