A rectangular jade lid features a low-relief carving of a figure riding a camel, polished to a smooth sheen. The translucent, cloudy white stone is marked by a thin diagonal crack. In profile facing left, the camel carries a rider in a rounded cap and long robes. The figure is rendered with simplified details, their right arm bent upward toward their face.
