The stone carvings in the Yuan Dynasty were white marble, with a head height of 74 cm, a shoulder width of 35 cm and a body length of 74 cm. The shape of a lion is unique, which is contrary to the normal shape of an ordinary crouching lion. The back is naturally concave, the shoulders are to the right, the two front legs are relatively upright, the right leg is slightly flexed, and the right paw steps on the ingot; The two hind legs are attached to both sides of the hip, and the exaggerated tail slightly bends from the hip to the right leg, meanders to the side elevation of the seat, and naturally stretches as a whole. Now it is collected in Beijing Stone Carving Art Museum.
