A muted green jade, a smooth rock marked with gray and brown, depicts a crouching mythical creature atop a square base. The creature has a ridged spine and four thick legs, one extending left and another reaching forward. Its head, facing our right, features a squared snout and small horns. The carvings appear lighter than the surrounding polished stone, which has rounded edges throughout.
