Glazed four-legged beast

　　The glazed four-legged beast is 44 cm long and 32 cm high; the base is 21.8 cm long and 19 cm wide. It was unearthed in 2001 from Tomb No. 3 of the Western Xia Mausoleum in Yinchuan, Ningxia, and is now housed in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region Museum.

　　The beast's head is held high, its front legs extended and hind legs raised, as if pouncing on prey. Its hollow cylindrical belly handle connects to the ridge tile, and the entire piece is covered in green glaze, glossy and smooth.
