Inlay for a Mirror or Box: shih-shih

Silver inlay depicting a shih-shih, a mythical creature. The creature has a horse-like body with a long snout. It has a long mane that resembles flames or spikes, extending from its neck and head. Its front right leg and back left leg are raised as if in mid-gallop. The tail is long and appears to be flowing or blowing in the wind. The entire piece appears to be textured. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
