Chimera (Bixie)
China, 1st century
Miniature depictions of animals began to appear in the middle of the Han dynasty. The perforation in the body of this solid gold chimera suggests that it was worn as a pendant or perhaps as one of several “beads.” Such ornaments are likely to have been inspired by small animal-shaped hardstone beads that were imported from South and Southeast Asia. Hardstone beads have been discovered in Han royal tombs in many Chinese provinces. They have also been excavated from contemporary sites along the coast of Vietnam and Thailand as well as in source countries including northern Pakistan, and Afghanistan.

Bead in the Form of an Animal Head Mixtec, Postclassic, general, 900-1520 CE
The coyote had a dual identity in the Aztec mind, one with rather more sinister implications. It was respected for being cunning, astute; in hunting it is quite as astute as a man. But it is in every way diabolic, exacting revenge for being thwarted in its pursuits, but also fair-minded, and could be grateful and appreciative by repaying an act of kindness with its own sort of generosity. It seems fitting that the greatest of all Aztec kings was named Fasting Coyote (Nezahualcoyotl in Nahuatl; ruled Texcoco ca. ad 1433–72). As his name implies, this king was astute and cunning, and a survivor as a long-term ally of his cousins, the rulers of Tenochtitlan. This small ornament may represent a coyote, and would call to mind the great fifteenth-century ruler.

Today’s the day for the Beadnose lineage! Here are two very special cousins; yearling 909jr and spring cub 910jr. The 909 and 910 families spent much of the summer integrated into one group, which is highly unusual bear behaviour, even if the two moms are siblings. It was a real treat to get to see this; and we can’t wait to see what happens with the Beadies in 2023! (Image description under cut.)
Like what I do? Please consider supporting me! Prints and other merch is available on redbubble, or you can sponsor me on patreon! 
Description: A cell-shaded digital illustration of two very plump brown bear cubs. The cub on the left, is sitting facing on her haunches left, and is somewhat larger than the other one. The cub on the right is sitting with her left foot stuck up in the air, and is facing right.
