Stake attention in this memory
A large, multi-colored glazed ceramic statue, likely Sancai ware, depicts a fierce, mythical creature. The figure features a grimacing face with prominent fangs and ears, and an elaborate crest extending upwards from its head. Its body is adorned with mottled green, yellow, and cream glazes, particularly on the chest which displays a textured, scale-like pattern. Prominent, wing-like appendages with green scale-like textures extend from its sides. The creature is seated or crouched on a stylized, multi-colored rock-like base. The statue rests on a flat, turquoise-blue rectangular display pedestal. The background consists of a uniformly illuminated turquoise-blue wall, indicative of a museum exhibition space. This display is consistent with the collections found at the Musée Guimet (National Museum of Asian Arts) in Paris, France.
