Chinese Jade beast of myth carving

I was told when I came upon this carved jade beast that the jade came from the floor tiles of an ancient temple. I am not sure of this origin, but it is a very attractive piece of jade, not jadite or nephrite. It represents a mixture of animals, tiger, dragon, dog and perhaps a few others. It is about 10 years old, nicely hand carved and 3 1/4" long. A unique oddity from China.
