A polished jade vessel features a rounded, bulbous body and a flared circular foot. The stone is marbled with deep emerald, pale green, and white patches. Two animal heads with open jaws extend from the rim, each suspending a loose jade ring. Sharp glints of light reflect off the smooth curves, highlighting the vessel's heavy, translucent form. The complex, mottled patterns shift across the surface, emphasizing its lustrous texture and symmetrical silhouette.
