[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 1837528, member: 2844"]Gorgeous pendant, Curioser. Agree. These mythical beings are usually seen on Chinese Archaic jade Bi discs, which symbolize heaven. The decoration on the rounded part is also typical Archaic Chinese. The animals are usually described as dragons, which makes sense with a representation of heaven.
