In the Eastern Han Dynasty from the 1st to the 3rd century AD, Chinese ceramic art reached a high level, and one representative work is the ceramic heavenly horse. It is an exquisite ceramic artifact that vividly depicts a galloping horse. It is usually made of fine clay and crafted through meticulous sculpture and painting techniques. The shape of Tianma is lifelike, sculpted according to the actual form and movement of the horse, expressing elegance, freedom, and a sense of power. Its smooth lines, graceful posture, and lifelike details showcase the ceramic artist's superb skills and observation of horses.
