In ancient Chinese mythology, Dragon had nine sons. The youngest of them is PIXIU, a composite animal- with a head of a dragon, the body of a lion, the foot od Qi Lin, the horn of a deer. It feeds on GOLD and SILVER.

The pixiu is a powerful Chinese mythical creature and symbols of wealth. It is believed to have an insatiable appetite for Gold, Silver, and jewels which affords it mystical powers capable of drawing wealth from all directions.

The Pixiu is a common symbol found in ancient Chinese art and architecture where it is traditionally displayed in pairs.
