Han Horse Lacquer Earrings

Product Description

A horse emerges in quiet lines against a field of red.

The pendant is formed on a copper base and built up through layers of natural lacquer. The surface is smooth and softly luminous, carrying a depth that reveals itself gradually. The horse motif is rendered in a style inspired by Han dynasty imagery—simple, grounded, and full of presence.

A structured upper element adds contrast and balance, connecting the piece with a subtle sense of movement. The composition brings together color, form, and line in a way that feels both composed and expressive.

At Patinae, we collaborate with artisans to bring traditional craftsmanship into a contemporary context—creating pieces to live with, and to keep over time.
