A jade ornament is shaped like a flat semi-circle with a mottled surface of tan, reddish-brown, and cream. The upper edge is punctured by three holes, with two on the left and one on the right. Small rectangular notches mark the outer perimeter near both ends. The stone is polished with a natural, stony texture throughout, highlighting its horizontal form.
