A small jade pendant is carved into a rounded face mottled with dark brown and light green patches. At the top edge, two circular holes are drilled through the stone. Rectangular ears project from the sides, framing facial features consisting of deep diagonal grooves for eyes, a wide nose, and a horizontal slit for a mouth. The polished surface reveals natural veining across the stylized face.
