According to research documents, the image of Nhiem Xa (also known as Mai Canh Xa ) is carved on Anh Dinh (the third bronze cauldron of the Hue Nine Cauldrons, located from the left looking from The Mieu to Hien Lam Cac, Hue Imperial City). This animal often hides in the forest, waiting for animals to pass by, then jumps to catch prey and swallow it.
