青銅神獸
Bronze divine creature
春秋 (Spring and Autumn period，770BC - 476BC)
河南博物院藏（Henan Museum collection）
神獸周身瀰漫著神秘色彩，龍首、虎身、龜足。龍首張口吐舌，頭上有六條小龍相互盤繞構成花冠，背上有一方孔，孔中立一個矩尺形插座，座上有一個口銜小龍的怪獸，正舒展身姿，猛蹬神獸的後頸，騰空躍起，似在奔馳。神獸為分鑄，組裝套合而成；不僅造型詭秘神奇，集龍、虎、龜於一體，給人以無限的想像力，而且通體用綠松石鑲嵌出龍、鳳鳥、虎、雲紋等圖案，工藝精湛細膩，裝飾華美富麗，處處顯示出春秋時期楚人崇尚神巫、信奉鬼怪的社會風氣。
With a dragon's head, a tiger's body and a tortoise's feet, this divine creature is full of mystery. The dragon's head is portrayed opening its mouth with its tongue sticking out. There are six small dragons coiled around each other forming a crown on its head. The bronze divine creature integrates the shapes of a dragon, tiger and tortoise into one body. The delicate and exquisite craftsmanship as well as the magnificent and luxuriant decoration illustrate the social custom during the Spring and Autumn period of spirit and wizard worship as well as the belief in ghosts and monsters.
