Antique animal sculpture (with a kind of dragon head) from the expansive Han Dynasty, which ruled the Chinese Empire from 206 BC - 220 AD, terracotta, with traces of paint, size 19 cm, an absolute rarity. The Han Dynasty experienced a cultural and economic boom that shows astonishing parallels to the current period. In Chinese mythology, the turtle represents longevity, wisdom and patience.
