Pixiu Guardian · Guarding the Seal

Order in a small space, guardianship given form. Pixiu Guardian · Guarding the Seal uses natural brass, compact shallow-relief beast forms and geometric corner engravings within a thin rounded-square rim. A Pixiu stands firmly along the upper arc, facing right with its four legs staggered. A small uninscribed seal at lower right answers a short plinth line at lower left, leaving the central field open. A fine satin field and natural metallic highlights bring out the beast and angular lines. The reverse retains one small uninscribed seal at upper left and one short plinth line at lower right. A plain central field and single tapered aperture remain clear. Black wrapping, ivory diamond windows and plain warm-brass fittings continue the collection’s shared material and ornament.
