Translucent, pale gray-green jade forms three shallow, oval basins joined by a central branching stem. The stone displays internal clouding and scattered brown spots. Each basin terminates in a carved petaled motif at its outer edge. One basin projects forward, while two others branch toward the sides. The polished surface reveals a structural stem extending past the junction, anchoring the vessels in a symmetrical, organic configuration that rests against a gray background.
