Various models of other pottery products unearthed from the ruins of Han tombs reflected the various aspects of social life of the Han period. The figures of officials, musicians, dancers, acrobats and many others are also fine art works reflecting the cultural and economic development of the Tang period. Moreover, many colored glazed pottery works modeled in the shape of horses and camels in the Han and Tang Periods showed the use of animals at that time, profoundly reflecting people's understanding of nature and humankind and the humanistic spirit in the periods under review.
