三彩筆記 vol.60 舊金山亞洲藝術博物館：唐三彩鼓手騎馬俑，布倫戴奇舊藏 - Asian Art Museum, Sancai Drummer on horseback, Avery Brundage Collection, Tang Dynasty

對比香港歷史博物館2026年展出的李晦墓出土的同款黃釉騎馬俑，舊金山亞洲藝術博物館這件屬於接近黑色的唐三彩釉，黑釉在唐三彩中較為少見，一匹唐三彩黑釉馬於 1989 年在倫敦蘇富比（Sotheby's）拍賣會上以 374萬英鎊（約合610萬美元）的天價售出，買家為下條啟一，參見王秋生財新專欄文章《一個鐵路退休基金如何重塑中國古藝價值｜國際拍場》。

三彩風帽騎馬樂俑，唐西安市李晦墓出土，陝西省考古研究院（陝西考古博物館）藏

樂俑頭戴紅色風帽，身着圓立領窄袖長袍，姿態儒雅，氣度安詳，其手上樂器已失。墓主李晦為唐代秋官尚書，其父李孝恭是唐太宗李世民的堂兄弟。其墓所出三彩俑，主要為黃、綠、白釉色，略顯單調，具早期三彩俑的特點。

In contrast to the yellow-glazed equestrian figure excavated from the tomb of Li Hui, which was exhibited at the Hong Kong Museum of History in 2026, this piece from the Asian Art Museum belongs to the rarer dark sancai tradition. Its near-black glaze is uncommon in Tang three-color wares. A similar example achieved a record-breaking price at the 1989 auction of the British Rail Pension Fund, as discussed in my Caixin column “How a Railway Retirement Fund Reshaped the Value of Chinese Antiquities in the International Auction Market.”

The position of the hands on this figure indicates that he is a drummer. Depictions of musicians on horseback represent one of the many artistic innovations that reflect the strong influence of Central Asia following the fall of the Han dynasty.
