[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 319155, member: 2844"]More beasties. Most of my Pixiu dragons are male ones, called Tiānlù. A Tiānlù protects riches. His tail is raised so you can see he has no 'hole' through which wealth can flow away.:) Brown jade Pixiu with Imperial green jade stopper: [ATTACH=full]106119[/ATTACH] On the left a lapis lazuli Pixiu with coins and ruyi mushrooms. Not very old but beautiful and very intricately carved, the photo doesn't do it justice. On the right a Hetian/Khotan river jade pebble, carved with a three-legged toad, coins and a bat (top), all auspicious signs. It is 18th century or older, the Imperial green jade stopper is recent.
