The "Northern Wei Stone Tiger" in the Collection of the Luoyang Museum, which was also mounted on the Wufu Easter egg card, was excavated in 1980 in Shangzhai Village, Hongshan Township, Luoyang City, and was originally one of the Shinto stone carvings in front of the Jing Mausoleum of Emperor Xiaozhuang of northern Wei. The stone tiger is about 106 centimeters tall, shaped by the method of round carving on a whole piece of bluestone, the tiger is squatting, the eyes are round, not angry, and the craftsmen have simply pinched the tiger's appearance just right.
