@MrsKMB - nice, did you work out what it is? It looks like a frog from behind and a dragon when you look at it's face?

@icy_jade - I always thought Pixiu were more like lions, so they have the paws of one animal, bodies of a different animal and tails, and the dragon face, this one has a frog body which kind of cool and something I hadn't see before. Look at your own example the body and feet look nothing like this one.

Great first time buy. So lovely that the jadeite glows
