Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A rare Yuan Dynasty tortoise-borne stele with a bilingual inscription (Chinese and Mongol using the Phags-Pa script), in the Temple of Mencius, Zoucheng. Based on the shadows' positions, it appears to face west, which is unusual as well (typically such turtles look south). Unfortunately, the face of the bixi tortoise has been destroyed some time during its history, and restored using cement.
