This exhibition aims to explore the symbolism behind animal motifs popular in Chinese ceramics throughout the ages. The objects included in this exhibition are part of a gift to the Ringling Museum from Ira and Nancy Koger and range from the third century BCE to the 19th century. The expansive chronology of the works points to the enduring nature of animal symbolism so deeply ingrained in Chinese visual culture.
