Horse mask cultural relic
The following are some information about the horse mask relics: - The museum of Gansu Province has a collection of Lianzhu Tuanke brocade inlaid horse cover (Tang Dynasty), also known as horse mask or horse face curtain, which is a horse's face protector. The earliest horse coverings were made of metal. Later, there were horse coverings made of leather, silk, and other different materials. This one was made of silk. It was exquisitely crafted and decorated. The outer edge of the mask was folded with five-colored cloth into a radiating shape like a lion's mane. There was a small radiating star on the top of the mask (one lost) to symbolize the crown. The crown-shaped star and the pearl pattern originated from the Sassanid Persian art of Central Asia. The wall-shaped ornament hanging in the middle under the nose was a typical China characteristic, a product of the combination of Chinese and Western cultures. In the Tang Dynasty, high-quality silk horse masks were usually used as decorations for the royal guards of honor and the horses of the nobles. They were a symbol of noble status. - There was a horse crown among the bronze chariots and horses unearthed from the tomb of Jin Village in Luoyang that might be related to the horse mask, but the specific situation was not explained in detail. - The Henan Museum had a bronze mask that was unearthed from the Yingguo Cemetery in Pingdingshan City, Henan Province (Western Zhou Dynasty). It was labeled as "Human-faced Bronze Horse Gear". However, from its shape (such as the position of the eyes), it did not look like a horse mask. It was more like a mask worn by humans. Its function was also unclear. It might be called a horse gear because of its unearthed location. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
