The three-legged (or tripedal) crow is a creature found in various mythologies and arts of Asia, Asia Minor, and North Africa. It is often thought to inhabit and represent the sun. The creature has been featured in myths from Egypt, where it appears on wall murals. It has also been found figured on ancient coins from Lycia and Pamphylia. In East Asian mythologies the three-legged crow is most often associated with the sun. In Chinese mythology and culture, the three-legged crow is called the Sanzuwu (pinyin: sanzuwu; Cantonese: sam1zuk1wu1) and is present in many myths and is also mentioned in the Shanhaijing. The earliest known depiction of a three-legged crow appears in Neolithic pottery of the Yangshao culture. The Sanzuwu is also of the Twelve Medallions that is used in the decoration of formal imperial garments in ancient China. A silk painting from the Western Han excavated at the Mawangdui archaeological site also depicts a Sanzuwu perched on a tree.
