EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing artifact, titled "Fitting (Shi) in the Form of a Chimera (Bixie)," dates between the 4th and 6th centuries and originates from China during the Six Dynasties period. The exact creator of this piece remains unknown, adding to its mystique. The sculpture is a cast bronze figure with gilding, depicting a mythical creature known as a Bixie or Chimera in Chinese mythology. This mythical beast is typically described as having the body of a lion, the head of a camel, and the tail of an ox. However, this representation presents the creature in a unique form, with the head of a lion, the body of a human, and the wings of a bird.
