Haniwa-style Horse Figure Unglazed Terracotta

A Haniwa-style horse figure made from unglazed terracotta is a striking and historically significant piece of art that reflects the ancient Japanese burial customs and artistic traditions of the Kofun period (3rd to 6th centuries AD). The horse figure is crafted in the Haniwa style, which refers to a type of terracotta funerary sculpture that was placed in burial mounds (kofun) in ancient Japan. Haniwa sculptures served as grave markers, guardians, and offerings to accompany the deceased in the afterlife.
