A lobed, shallow translucent jade dish is shaped into a horizontal form of pale gray-white with a warm brown tint on the left. A repeating square-fret pattern borders the flat rim. Centered within, a circular seed pod with small rounded protrusions rests on a base carved with vertical grooves. The smooth, polished vessel sits on short feet against a dark, featureless background.
