Wearing a folding top hat, wearing a long-sleeved robe, with the neckline turned out, half an arm inside, a bundle tied behind the waist, a skirt and boots. Hands clenched in the shape of pulling the reins. The camel figurines are bactrian camels with felt mats and yellow glaze as the main color. The camel’s head is high and its mouth is hissing. The waist is slightly longer, and the four legs stand upright on the rectangular support plate

“Hu people” is the name of the ethnic minorities in the northwest by the ancient Han people, which has been expanded to cover the ethnic minorities and countries in Central Asia and West Asia. The Silk Road from Chang’an to Central Asia, West Asia and even Arabia is an important link for China’s foreign traffic and trade. In the Tang Dynasty, this trade route was more prosperous and the caravan was in an endless stream. Camels are the mounts of businessmen and passengers, and also the tools for consigning goods. They are called “boats of the desert”. In the tomb, Hu people led camel figurines as burial objects, which is a vivid reflection of the real life of the Tang Dynasty.
