A jade stopper is shaped like a smooth, hemispherical dome of translucent orange-red stone. In the center of its highly polished surface are bright, rectangular highlights. The circular bottom of the object is flat and appears slightly rough with small chips and white mineral deposits. This small stopper rests on its base against a neutral gray background.
