dear judy was looking back at some of your images,saw this one and it looks a lot like a mythical legendary animal called 'Qi lin' in chinese,it is an animal that has a dragon's head and a deer/lion's(cant rem which) body,which is scaled.And the creature on your bronze urn looked pretty like it.In Chinese legend,this animal is extremely formidable,rare and is supposed to be VERY VERY auspicious,brings good fortune even to those who catch a glimpse of it:)
