ADorable artwork under cut





A Chinese pig-dragon sculpture. China, probably Yunnan Province, Yuan dynasty, 1279-1368 CE.

The person who made this never imagined me, and I will never touch this sculpture, and yet both of us share delight in its little FACE and its stumpy little LEGS and its utter ADORABILITY.

I delight in YOUR little face and stumpy little legs and utter adorability, because you, m'dear, are a work of art, too.

(and yes, this is a cute little sculpture. although it'd be nice if there were a banana next to it, for scale.)

Culturally, I can't begin to imagine what it's supposed to mean in the context of Chinese mythology, except maybe it's the new Year's Dragon from the Year of the Pig. That happens to be my Chinese zodiac sign - the pig is lazy and fond of luxury, and loves fine food. Well, yeah, that's me.
