Hello, I'm Jiaqi.

大家好，我是家琦。

You must know well the tigers at zoos,

对于住在动物园里的“小脑斧”，想必大家都不陌生，

but how about the "tigers" in the treasures of Henan province?

可您是否认识河南文物中的“虎宝宝”呢？

In the next few days, I will take you to Henan Museum.

接下来的几天，我将带领大家走进河南博物院。

OK, let's go and see the "cute tigers" hidden in Henan's treasures!

让我们一起看看河南文物中的“萌虎宝宝”吧！

The Tiger-shaped Jade Pendant, 6.2 centimeters in width and 12.5 centimeters in length, was made of gray jade during the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC), which is collected by Henan Museum.

青玉虎形佩，春秋时期文物，宽6.2厘米，长12.5厘米，现藏于河南博物院。

The flat pendant shows us a tiger with its head bowed, back arched, elbows bent and tail curled. One side of the pendant is smooth without decorations, while the other side is inscribed with a few geometric patterns on the tiger's belly and limbs. Two holes in the pendant make it a wearable ornament.

青玉虎形佩体呈扁平形，虎低首弓背，驱肢卷尾。虎身一面通体满饰虎纹，腹部、双肢刻有少许几何纹，另面光素。口与尾处各有一圆孔可供穿系佩戴。
