The Chinese creative imagination of mythical animals goes back to the Neolithic Hongshan Culture and here is a mythical animal with a body of a double humps Bactrian Camel and the head of what seems a Tiger.
The Jade(Nephrite) was originally translucent light greenish but is now weathered worn to an orange surface crust in some areas; giving an antiquated patina enhancing its overall appeal.
This Mythical Camel from the Han Dynasty of China reflects the incredibly harsh climatic conditions of the Old Silk Road that is its natural habitat.
