A rare Chinese bronze figure of a sage on a horse, Qing Dynasty

Bronze figures of sages or immortals are a key part of Chinese art from the Ming (1368–1644) and Qing (1644–1912) dynasties. They often depict revered historical or mythological figures like Laozi and Confucius, symbolizing wisdom and virtue. These sculptures, sometimes shown with symbolic animals or mythical creatures, served as both decorative art and representations of Confucian or Daoist ideals.
