A rectangular jade box features a hollowed-out, shallow basin with softly rounded corners and a flat rim. The translucent stone shows a cloudy off-white color with gray and yellow mottling throughout. A vertical red stain marks the inner left wall, while tiny dark specks are scattered across the smooth, polished bottom and rim.
