Gold 'Monster', Han Dynasty (206 BC-25 220 AD). Length: 11cm Height: 11.5cm. Unearthed from Shenmu County, Shaanxi Province in 1957. Shaanxi History Museum.

Standing on a lotus-shaped stand, the 'monster' bends over prepares to fight. It has a large horn which is divided four branches decorated with a 'monster'-head relief. Its tail is also decorated with a 'monster' head. It rolls upward like a ring. This object is probably an ornamental object of the Hun people who lived in the steppe area of Northern China.
