This species was highly regarded by the Tang emperors who established dedicated offices to oversee the imperial camel herds. The heavy load of pouches, ewers and animal meat, so vividly slung between the two humps of the exquisite camel by means of an elaborate structure of hinged slats of wood and poles, recalls the importance of foreign trade in Tang China. Referred to as 'the ships of the desert,' camels endured hot temperatures and were the essential method of transport for merchants wishing to conduct trade with the cities of Central Asia, such as Samarkand, Bukhara and Isfahan, along the trading routes of the Silk Road. By the Tang dynasty, the tombs constructed for the highest-ranking members of society were decorated in a way that suggested a courtly architectural compound through painted designs of receiving halls, garden settings and official gatherings, furnished with a large number of pottery figures of courtiers, attendants, entertainers, horses and camels. These figures represented of daily life and are found in conjunction with a variety of extravagantly shaped vessels and personal ornaments made of gold, silver, and other precious materials, which reflected the prosperity of the empire. A sancai-glazed camel, Tang dynasty, bearing different goods on its pannier, was sold at Christie's Hong Kong, 30 November 2016, lot 3305; another was sold at Christie's New York, 20 September 2005, lot 191. Compare also with a larger but related sancai-glazed camel, Tang dynasty, which was sold at Bonhams London, 8 November 2018, lot 28.
