犀角 [Rhinoceros horn] (The upper character is fanqie 洗 + 賚 [xī]. Guo's commentary on the Erya says: 'The rhinoceros resembles an ox with a pig's head, a large belly, short legs, black coloration, three horns, and a fond appetite for thorns.' The Shuowen jiezi says: 'It has the radical 牛 with the tail abbreviated.' In the scripture it is written as 犀, which is a vulgar form).
