A white jade ornament consists of three concentric rings joined by eight radiating bars. Twelve pointed teeth edge the outermost ring, which is carved with twelve fluid scrolls. The middle ring features eight raised circular studs. At the center, a cross-shaped element with notched arms surrounds a small, solid circle. Crafted from polished milky-white stone, the ornament exhibits a symmetrical, layered design with smooth surfaces and precise geometric cutouts.
