Therefore, Pixiu have always been regarded as being capable of drawing cai qi (wealth) from all directions, and according to the Chinese zodiac, they are especially helpful for those who are going through a bad year. There are two types of Pixiu: The one with two horns is the female, called Bixie. The one with only one antler is the male, called Tianlu.Emperor Wu of the Han dynasty declared that the pixiu would be forever known as the 'Treasure of the Emperor', that only royal personage could possess a pixiu, and that it was strictly forbidden for all others to own one, including officials. This law was kept through to the very end of the Qing dynasty. Lifelike sculptures of these mythical beings made from durable materials, such as jade, were made to embody and pacify the elemental and supernatural forces of the living world.Auction result comparison: Type: RelatedAuction: Sotheby's Hong Kong, 2 April 2018, lot 3416Estimate: HKD 3,000,000 or approx.
