3.2kg Hetian Jade Horse

This Tang dynasty–style Hetian jade horse is carved from a single solid block of natural jade, weighing an impressive 3,277 grams. The horse stands calmly with a lowered head and stable posture, conveying restrained strength and dignity—hallmarks of Tang-period equine aesthetics. The finely carved saddle and tack reflect strong Central Asian “Hu horse” influences, symbolizing power, prestige, and the vibrant cultural exchanges of the Silk Road era. The jade displays a naturally aged surface with warm brown and yellowish tones, showing authentic patina developed over time. Large-scale Hetian jade horses of Tang style are increasingly rare on today’s market. This piece is well suited for serious collectors of Chinese antiquities, Tang dynasty art, or high-end jade sculptures.
