詹姆斯及瑪麗蓮·阿爾斯多夫珍藏,芝加哥,於1990年以前入藏。
As symbols of speed and strength, horses have been favored in Chinese art for their prestige and powerful presence. Horses are also depicted as metaphors for the fine qualities of good officials, and embody the wish for immediate success. The present carving could very likely be a scholar's object, such as a paper weight, made for the literati or for those who wish to join the literati circle.
