A Chinese Tang Dynasty pottery Bactrian camel (618–906 AD), painted with original geometric pigment designs, standing on a square base. Dimensions: height 41 cm (16″), length 28 cm (11″). Accompanied by an Oxford Authentication Ltd. thermoluminescence analysis report confirming its period.

This piece comes from the collection of John Hare OBE FRGS — explorer, conservationist, Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, and founder of the Wild Camel Protection Foundation. In 2017, John Hare was awarded the OBE by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II for his outstanding services to the conservation of the critically endangered wild camel in Mongolia and China. 

John Hare entrusted the Wild Camel Protection Foundation with the sale of this pottery to raise vital funds for wild camel conservation in Mongolia. All proceeds (100%) from this piece will directly support the protection of wild camels in Mongolia.
