A cream-colored jade figurine, a smooth and polished stone, is carved into a flat bird shape facing left. It features a long, curved neck and a thick, hooked beak with a small circle for an eye. A tiny hole is drilled through the rounded chest. The figure tapers into a pointed tail above short, notched legs. Mottled reddish-brown patches texture the surface, contrasting with the light stone.
