This magnificent sculture depicts a camel adorned with a vibrant three-color glaze (sancai) and pigment. The camel stands tall, capturing its strength and grace. The use of sancai glaze was a hallmark of Tang ceramics. These tomb figurines were created exclusively for burial purposes reflecting the wealth and status of their owners.
