The animal's neck is slightly turned to the left, with its ears pricked forward attentively. The muscles are rendered in great detail on the neck and hind quarters. The tail is depicted docked and bound in the traditional fashion. Horses were an important status symbol during the Tang 'golden age'. They were the rewards of victorious military campaigns which lead to imperial stability and wealth. Indeed, the Tang emperors often described their favourite horses in detail commenting on their colouration, conformation and temperament.
