Han Horse Sterling Silver Necklace

Art jewelry inspired by The Met collection. Our timeless sterling silver horse pendant pays tribute to a noble bronze sculpture from China's Han dynasty (206 BCE-220 CE) in The Met collection. Horses are frequently depicted in ancient Chinese art. They served a practical use in warfare and along the expanding Silk Road; they symbolized strength, power, and wealth; and they were believed to transport the souls of the dead to the next world.
