Xixia Dynasty
Mural from Xixia Grotto 3, in Yulin, Anxi. At the southern end of the east wall are two murals of brewing, situated symmetrically on both sides of a mural of a thousand-headed, thousand-eyed Avalokiteshvara. At the center of one picture is a cooking stove, on top of which is a multilayered stack of square vessels. In front of the stove, a woman is adding wood to the fire, which flares out of the stove. At left is a pottery wine jar. At right, another woman holds a bowl. Near her is a wine jar and a wooden barrel. Some investigators believe this to be the earliest depiction of alcohol distillation.
