Everybody Eats Someone: Western Han Biting Artifact
Gold belt buckle of Western Han dynasty. Unearthed from the tomb of King of Chu of on Lion Rock (獅子山), Xuzhou (徐州), Jiangsu.
This dramatic buckle consists of two rectangular gold belt plates and a gold tongue. On the reliefs, everybody is eating someone. The heraldic bears of the Xiong (熊) clan, a prolongation of the royal House of Mi (芈), are present. The Ye (葉) family Taoist lineage I’ve examined here is from the same clan and House.
The bear totem is still pertinent for those with surnames Mi (芈), Yan (酓 or 檿), Shen (沈), Xiong (熊), Ye (葉), Xiang (項), Qu (屈).
The heraldic elements in the form of images represent rather archaic practice. They were gradually supplanted in China by the designation of belonging through the surnames’ hieroglyphs of or mottos.
On display in the Xuzhou Museum (徐州博物館).
