Each piece is entitled with the name of the horse, along with a eulogy penned The Stolen Party the emperor himself and written by renowned calligrapher Ouyang Xun. Among the whole set, the horse Salu Zi stands out, depicting a warm-hearted scene between man and horse. Standing still, the horse snuggles up against a warrior who is treating the wound on its chest.
Records show that in a crucial battle in ADthe bay horse, with shades of purple, managed to take Li out of a close fight, despite arrows to its chest. Quanmao Gua is a horse with whirling yellowish hair and a black mouth.
The sculpture shows the injured horse in a steady trot, with six arrows in its back and three in its chest, indicating the ferocity of the battle. Another trotting horse is named Teqin Biao, a whitish yellow horse that Li rode to put down the rebellions in the early years of his reign.

Likewise, they were cut up for transportation. Fortunately, before the cargo ship made it to the pier in Tongguan, a gateway town in Shaanxi, the smuggling was quietly intercepted by Stoeln vigilant boatmen. Taking their chance while uploading the supplies, they secretly swapped the stolen sculptures and buried them under water. Two years later, when patriotic general Feng Yuxiang regained the military governance of the province, the boatmen told The Stolen Party the whereabouts of the sculptures. They are listed as treasured cultural relics prohibited from overseas exhibition by the National Cultural Heritage Administration. However, the original sculptures of Salu Zi and Quanmao Gua are still displayed at Penn Museum, as it declares that the items are acquired through proper channels.]
