Tang Dynasty Camel Statue with Musicians
This Sancai drip glaze statue is crafted in the Tang Dynasty style. It features a double camel team carrying a contingent of 10 sculpted court musicians. Such statuary was symbolic of the wealth and power of Mughal emperors, including the famed Kubla Khan, who would have reclined in the relative luxury of the tented platform area beneath the musicians during their travels.
