A jade figurine, a translucent pale green stone polished to a soft sheen, depicts a bird with its head turned back toward its tail. Below its beak, a smaller head emerges. Fine, incised cross-hatched and parallel lines define the wings. This bird sits on a wide, rounded rim above a smooth, plain cylindrical base. The entire sculpture is uniform in color, with a surface that appears exceptionally smooth and polished.
