A mottled light green jade ornament depicts a stylized, horizontal animal with brownish-orange patches. On the right, the head features a circular eye, a spiral ear, and a horizontal mouth groove. Two spiral motifs decorate the center of the body, while a larger spiral forms the tail on the left. The polished stone is marked by small pits and weathered cracks throughout.
