This Sancai was collected in the National Museum of History in Taiwan

Sancai was the most common Tang ceramic relic that has been excavated in the modern era, therefore the shape and characters of the Sancai became the strong and vital reference of the communication between Tang and Western Regions. 


  • From the character of the Sancai, we can easily identify it was a Western person standing next to a Bactrian camel. The appearance and clothing of the man are similar to the Western Region people portrayed in other artworks. Such as the same tall mink tail hat. (See the picture below)

​​

  • Not only the clothing but also the Bactrian camel is a species inhabited mainly in Central Asia, which is used as a transportation machine. (See the picture below)
