- Has a tiny hole at the bottom of the mouth for suspension?
- Fish with feet are not that unusual in Zhou style, but the wings are.
- (Well, there is an odd mingling of bird and fish characteristics in the Western Zhou; sometimes you can't tell which is dominant!)
- cf. Zhongguo Yuqi Quanji, Boda Yang, 1995, vol 1, p. 202 for a similar fish identified as Western Zhou.
