PAINTED HORSE POTTERY FIGURINE 彩繪馬俑
This pattern design takes inspiration from the painted horse pottery figurine antiquities on display at the “Prosperity and Magnificence - Civilisation of the Sui and Tang Dynasties in Shaanxi Province” Exhibition of the HK Museum of History.

The painted horse pottery figurine stands as one of the most vibrant symbols of the High Tang spirit. More than a mere relic of ancient chariot-and-horse civilisation—it embodies the Tang dynasty's grand vision of strength, far-reaching journeys, and a world open to the horizon.

This pattern depicts the horse stands with head held high, its posture steady and serene—retaining the poise and power of the High Tang. Adorned with Tang diamond-lattice border motifs, the interlocking patterns and lines weave together like the vast network of the Silk Road itself, lending motion to the figurine's surging vitality. The entire tableau reads like a Tang procession that has never ceased—hoofbeats echoing through the streets of Chang'an, the civilisations of the Silk Road flowing through geometric rhythms, forever in motion.
