A cream-colored jade carving depicts a large reclining dog with dark brown and black mottling across its head and limbs. Facing left, the larger dog has its legs tucked under its body, while a smaller puppy curls against its hindquarters facing right. Fine parallel lines representing fur are etched into the stone at their haunches. This horizontal sculpture features rounded, smooth contours and a polished finish that highlights natural stone patterns.
