Archaic

created for the PaardVerzameld challenge 43

Prompt: "Archaic"

Archaic refers to something old. Something significant, intelligent. It is not a far stretch to go back to the classic times where art began. For me the fascination with Asia is very apparent and I have a great fondness for the old culture.
After researching I found that the Tang dynasty holds the more beautiful development of ceramic and pottery art of those golden ages of culture, poetry and big cosmopolitan cities.
I looked for ideas that would support my current subjects of choice to bring the theme, style and instructions for this challenge together.
My subject is a terracotta figure, horse with rider from C. 618 - 907 AD. Chinese Tang Dynasty.
