貼金鎧甲騎士俑 Figurine of rider and horse with gold-leafed armour
唐 Tang dynasty (AD 618 – 907)
乾陵博物館藏 Qianling Museum
懿德太子李重潤墓出土共113件貼金鎧甲騎士俑，馬額以貼金表示面具的貴重價值，雙耳間豎有葉狀金飾，當胸和馬身甲連在一起，刻出一排排細密的長方形甲片，整個下緣都包有朱紅的寬邊，上面飾有彩色的團花紋飾。這貼金鎧甲騎士俑應是唐朝皇室儀仗隊的形象，馬身上披著象徵鎧甲的馬衣，顯示皇家威儀和唐朝騎兵的風采。
A total of 113 figurines of riders and horses with gold-leafed armour were excavated from the tomb of Li Chongrun, the Crown Prince Yide. Gold-leaf was applied onto the horse's forehead to suggest the high value of its mask. An upright, leaf-shaped gold ornament stands between its ears. The chest guard and body armour of the horse are fused, with rectangular strips of armour carved in neat and compact rows. The lower edge is hemmed with a broad red band, on which floral patterns were painted in colour. This figurine of rider and horse with gold-leafed armour would have been part of the Crown Prince's guard of honour. ■資料：香港歷史博物館
