The Bixie is a Mystical Guardian Animal from legendary times in old China. The Jade(Nephrite) Bixie is powerfully portrayed standing on fours. The structure of fiqure and the polishing placed it in the Qing rather than the Ming.The head mane and bifucarated tail still have the old tool's marks visible to authenticate antiquity!
Note: The Bixie especially with the bifucarated tail is also considered as a manifestation of the Dragon.
