A Note to Our Visitors
Overview
Designed patterns of mysterious creatures are displayed in ancient Chinese bronzeware. Not all of their meanings or roles have been made clear, but they seem to be divine beasts and monsters that were created by combining different parts of existing animals. Vicariously experience the rich imaginations of ancient people as you take a close look at each pattern and shape.
