Chinese antique bronze camel. Length: 5.5 inches = 14 cm, Height: 4.25 inches = 10 cm, Weight: 2 lb. 1 oz. = 940g. Age: several hundred years old. Provenance: private collection in Florida, purchased in 1980’s -1990's. The Ordos culture comprises the period from Upper Paleolithic to the late Bronze age at the Ordos Desert, in the south of the Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China. The Ordos were predominantly Mongoloid, as known from their skeletal remains and artifacts,[1] but numerous interactions between Europoid and Mongoloid might have also taken place in that region over the course of several centuries,[2] until its occupation by Qin and Han dynasties.
