Here we have an exquisite winged lion figure (Pixiu) in transparent yellow glass dating to the Han Dynasty of Ancient China 206BC to 220AD.
The petite figure intact with mineral encrustration from burial to the surface of the glass in places.
There is a strength and ferocity of the beast appearing very catlike with strong legs, neck and wings extending along the body from the top of the front legs. The glass appears almost a honey amber in color and is transparent.
It measures 2 5/8" long by 1 5/16" wide by 1 1/2" tall approximately (66mm x 33mm by 38mm)

The photos form part of the description. Like all colors there is a color variation that occurs in different lighting conditions both inside but also outside, even the time of day can make the color of a stone appear a little different. We do our best to show colors as we see them. Color perception is highly individual and some people can perceive more colors than others, also colors can appear somewhat different on different screens and devices due to variations in screen hardware and device display settings
