Bronze Sculpture survives far better than works of art in perishable materials, and often represents the majority of the surviving works (other than pottery) from ancient cultures, though
conversely traditions of sculpture in wood may have vanished almost entirely. However, most ancient sculpture was brightly painted, and this has been lost.
Bronze horse sculpture is one of the bronze sculptures that often appear in Chinese history. In the world, horse is an indispensable image and an indispensable tool and friend. On the battlefield,
in the story, the image of the horse is everywhere.
The bronze horse sculpture is a bronze sculpture craft. It has many shapes. It is made of bronze or brass or pure copper. The horse is strong and fat, and the head is humming, lifting the legs,
and squatting, full of vitality and lifelike.
Bronze Sculpture has been central in religious devotion in many cultures, and until recent centuries large sculptures, too expensive for private individuals to create, were usually an expression of
religion or politics.
Those cultures whose bronze horse sculptures have survived in quantities include the cultures of the ancient Mediterranean, India and China, as well as many in Central and South America and
Africa.
