Scientific Analysis Report: A thermoluminescence analysis report issued by Oxford Authentication on 19 February 2025, based on sample number C125c29, sets the firing date of the two samples taken from one horse between 1400 and 2100 years ago, consistent with the dating above.

The horse-riding military, which began in the 3rd century BC, grew rapidly during the 2nd century BC, to meet the challenge of horse-riding peoples threatening China along the northern frontier. These large, powerful, horses were new to China. Traded for luxurious silk, they were the first major import to China from the newly established trade corridor to the Mediterranean world. Within a few years, the marvelous Arabian steeds had become immensely popular with military and aristocracy alike and upper-class tombs began to be filled with images of these great horses for use in the afterlife.Auction result comparison:Type: Closely relatedAuction: Christie's Amsterdam, 4 November 2003, lot 232Price: EUR 7,767 or approx.
