This article, created on 10 March, is new enough, long enough, well-sourced, and presentable. No copyvio issues. QPQ done. Image free and legible at low res. Hook in article, cited, citations checks out. Hook is interesting and short enough. Good to go. @Maculosae tegmine lyncis: should "Haniwa" be italicised in the article title as well? (not that it would hold up the nom). Tenpop421 (talk) 22:39, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Trappings

"A cloth or covering spread over the harness or saddle of a horse or other beast of burden, often gaily ornamented."^[1] Note that this is utterly wrong in this article. This statue is important precisely because the tack is visible. The tack is most certainly not covered by a blanket in this statue. Nick Beeson (talk) 04:45, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
