A jade ornament is shaped like a flat, circular disc with a centered hole. A narrow vertical slit cuts through the top edge, flanked by two small, round punctures. The stone is a mottled, muted brown with varied dark and light patches. Its weathered surface displays fine scratches and a cloudy texture across the entire face.
