Pair of Southern Yellow Cattle (Zebu) China (probably Shaanxi province), Tang dynasty (618-907), late 7th century earthenware w/ traces of pigment Baltimore Museum of Art
“Southern Yellow cattle, a Chinese breed depicted here, were primarily used as draught animals to pull farm implements and carts, including those that transported coffins and other furnishings to tombs. Usually yellow or brown in color, the breed is distinguished by a prominent hump and long dewlap, the fold of loose skin hanging from an animal's throat.”
