I am delighted with my new treasure – a Tang camel from Brian Page Oriental Art. I like his expression and am particularly intrigued by the objects on his saddle, including ducks and a rabbit.
Many Tang camels have the sancai glaze. Unusual glaze on this camel in the Ashmolean, plus some of its history. Video of Cincinnati Art Museum camel.
Wu Zuoren is of course famous for painting camels – fabulous inkwork!
