Pair of Brass Antique Pixiu

These are two bronze Pixiu (貔貅) statues, traditional Chinese mythical creatures believed to attract wealth, protect their owner, and ward off evil spirits. Here’s a detailed description: ⸻ 🐲 Left Figure: • Appearance: Facing away from the viewer. Its back shows curled patterns and stylized wings. • Base Inscription: 納財 (nà cái) • Meaning: “To receive/accumulate wealth” • This implies that this Pixiu is symbolically “inviting” or “collecting” wealth. ⸻ 🐲 Right Figure: • Appearance: Facing forward, mouth open in a protective or roaring pose. Shows traditional Chinese decorative patterns and a strong stance. • Base Inscription: 龍貔 (pí xiū lóng) • Meaning: Literally “Dragon Pixiu.” This emphasizes its dragon-like qualities, reinforcing strength and good fortune. ⸻ 📚 Interpretation: • These Pixiu statues are often placed in pairs, representing a balance of Yin and Yang or male and female energy. • They are commonly used in feng shui practices to: • Attract and safeguard wealth • Protect the household or business • Symbolize authority and ward off evil spirits 🪙 Material & Style: • The gold-bronze color suggests they are made of brass or bronze, traditional materials for feng shui charms. • The design and inscriptions imply they are decorative feng shui pieces, possibly antique-style but not necessarily ancient unless verified by an expert.
