A very similar set of painted gray pottery ox and cart in the collection of the Detroit Institute of Art is on view in the museum's gallery, and illustrated on the museum's website, accession number 1994.144.

PLEASE NOTE: This report describes, but may not be limited to, major condition issues for the lot.


Overall in good, stable condition. Ox is well-modeled with traces of red pigment remain. Long arms on the cart restored. One of the wheels may be a later replacement. A good example of this type.
