Bluestone Pixiu Sculpture with Bronze Stand

Handsculpted by Chinese artist, CH, c. 1890s

Sculpted from bluestone, this late Qing-era piece depicts a Pixiu 貔貅—a mythical creature with a dragon's head, a lion’s body, and feathered wings. Revered in Chinese culture as a guardian of wealth and protector against misfortune, the Pixiu symbolizes strength and abundance. The sculpture rests atop a custom iron stand but can be detached for use as a statement bookend or standalone accent. A refined object of meaning, suitable for the study or entryway.
