About the Item
19th Century Chinese Mythical Animal Carving – Rooster Horse with Dragon Tail
This rare and captivating 19th-century Chinese carved wooden figure depicts a mythical animal – a unique fusion of rooster, horse, and dragon. Skillfully hand-carved from wood and adorned with polychrome paint, the creature features a rooster's head, a horse-like body, and a sweeping dragon's tail. The neck is beautifully painted fish scale patterns, adding to its fantastical charm.
Though time has rendered the legs fragile and now missing, the figure is elegantly mounted on a custom stand for secure and striking display. Faint traces of the original paint remain on the body and tail, offering a glimpse into its once vibrant detailing, while the rooster's head and fish-scaled neck retain bold color.
A true conversation piece, this mythical beast makes an excellent focal point for a cabinet, shelf, or as a distinctive element in an interior design project. Ideal for collectors of Asian antiques, folklore-inspired decor, or one-of-a-kind statement art.
Condition Report
This 19th-century Chinese carved wooden mythical animal is in fair antique condition, showing signs of age and historical wear consistent with its age. Some of the legs are no longer present and the figure has been mounted on a custom stand for stability and display. The polychrome paint on the rooster’s head and fish-scaled neck remains visible, while the paint on the body and tail is significantly faded.
