Normally all 3-Legged creatures are considered as Daoist & Feng Shui prosperity symbols and the usual one is the 3-legged frog and so to have a 3-Legged Rodent is indeed rare.The Ming Dynasty was founded by a Daoist Emperor and this 3-Legged Rodent of white Jade(Nephrite) aptly represents the prosperity of the early Ming Dynasty.
