Hello, this is Kitty , thanks for watching my item. I have been selling Chinese bronze items for many years. Here are something you could not find elsewhere . All with reasonable price. Hope you like them and good luck. ^_^
Chinese Zodiac Pig Head
Material: Bronze
Size: 5.2"H ( 13cm)* 4.8"L( 12cm) * 5"W(12.5cm)
Chinese Zodiac are represented by 12 animals , in turn , they are rat, ox, tiger,rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey , chicken, dog , pig.
The Sheng xiao (Chinese: 生肖; pinyin: shēngxiào), better known as Chinese Zodiac, is a scheme that relates each year to an animal and its reputed attributes, according to a 12-year cycle. It has wide currency in several East Asian countries besides China and Taiwan.
Identifying this scheme using the term "zodiac" reflects several similarities to the Western zodiac: both have time cycles divided into 12 parts, each labels at least the majority of those parts with names of animals, and each is widely associated with a culture of attributing influence of a person's relationship to the cycle upon their personality and/or events in their life. Nevertheless, there are major differences: the "Chinese" 12-part cycle is divided into years rather than months; contrary to the association with animals implied in the Greek etymology of "zodiac", actually four of the Western "signs" or "houses" are represented by humans (one such sign being the twins "Gemini") and one is the inanimate balance scale "Libra"; the animals of the Chinese zodiac are not associated with constellations, let alone those spanned by the ecliptic plane.
You could find other 11 animal heads in my store, if you want to buy one set, plz contact me , I could give you a good offer.
Plz forgive me if there is any grammatical mistake in my item's description.
