The cross-cultural animal motifs of Tang gold and silver

Animal motifs form a major theme in the decoration of Tang Dynasty (618-907) gold and silver wares. Among the animal designs beloved by the Tang people, there are not only rare real-life creatures but also imaginative mythical beings. The interplay of diverse cultures across the Eurasian continent made these motifs even richer and more varied.
