For a similar example see a sculpture from the Birmingham Museum of Art, accession no.1979.321; cf. Hajeck et al., A Book of Chinese Art, four thousand years of sculpture, painting, bronze, jade, lacquer and porcelain, Spring Books, 1966, item 28, for type. 4.7 kg total, 27 cm including stand (10 5/8 in.). Acquired 1980-1990s. Ex West Country collection. Property of a Bristol, UK, gentleman. The Western Jin pottery horses tend to be modelled on the stocky and short-legged Mongolian breed, unlike their more graceful Han Dynasty predecessors. This type of horse was formerly attributed to the Han period; developments within the field of archaeology have since re-attributed them to the Six Dynasties era (3rd-6th century A.D.)
