A nephrite jade ornament features a flat, circular disk with a large central opening, accented by a thin, raised rim bordering the hole. The off-white stone is mottled with patches of tan and brown, its surface marked by fine cracks and small pits. On the right, a heavy concentration of dark brown staining occurs. The sculpture's smooth, geometric form is defined by these weathered, irregular textures.
