This gentleman, in my own collection, is a late Tang pottery figure. According to the artistic conventions of the time, he is a 'non-Chinese' Central Asian figure. He has a closed quiver on the right side of his horse. The cover on his bow is in the shape and image of a fish - another convention of the time.
