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.
