Pyinsarupa
Pyinsarupa (Burmese: ပဉ္စရူပ, [pjɪ̀ɴsa̰ jùpa̰], also spelt pyinsa rupa; Pali: pañcarūpa, lit. 'five forms'[1]), also known as phaya luang (Thai: พญาลวง), is a chimeric animal made of an elephant, bullock, horse, white carp (ငါးကြင်း) and tonaya (တိုးနရား, a mythical horned leodragon), or alternately lion, elephant, water buffalo, white carp and hamsa.[2] The pyinsarupa is commonly featured in traditional Burmese hsaing waing orchestras, and serves as the logo of Myanmar's flagship air carrier, Myanmar Airways International.
