Tricolor Pottery Camel

Camel can have one or two humps. The double-humped camel is indigenous to Central Asia and China. Camel motifs were found on pictorial bricks datable to the Eastern Han period (25-220). During the Tang dynasty, through frequent cultural communication between China and the west, camels became a popular subject matter of artists and craftsmen. An example in point is the tricolor pottery ware.
