Amid the festive crackle of fireworks, the Year of the Snake is here! Sharing its blessings with us is this Sui Dynasty (581-618) grey pottery figurine from Wuhan Museum. With a snake head and a human body, it is dressed in a flowing robe, seated cross-legged and hands clasped in front – a true depiction of composure and grace. May this treasure bring an ancient charm to your Spring Festival celebrations!
