A pale gray-green jade figurine with brown markings depicts a deer lying down, its legs tucked beneath its body. The animal turns its head back over its right shoulder, a leafy branch extending from its mouth and curving along the neck to its back. The sculpture features spiraled antlers and a smooth, polished surface throughout, with fluid lines defining the deer's haunches and the delicate foliage.
