Tang Style China - 2 Polo Players
New
Two female polo players, Tang style China on a base.
Polo players, depicted on their harnessed horses in full jump.

The Polo Player is a Mingqi, that is, a funerary object that symbolizes what the deceased loved during their lifetime and which is placed in their grave.
The statuettes could represent many things, such as polo, a sport that wealthy Chinese people of the Tang Dynasty introduced to China in the 8th century.
This tradition replaces the custom of aristocrats being buried with their living servants so that they would follow them to the next world...
