You Joey got it at the beginning, meaning that you understood what it is, except that you tought it was the moon.
Then Pin got it exactly.
Here is an extract from "Oriental Ceramic Art" by S. W. Bushell, a fantistic book first edited in 1896!
Dear Rube, now you know what it is. At this point, one may think that the bird could be the three legged bird representing the Sun, but I don't think so because of the dragon on the opposite side.
Unless it really has three legs.
Kind regards
Giovanni
