A shallow, oval basin is carved from mottled white and dark brownish-black jade. On the left rim, a pale dragon-like creature faces inward, while a dark counterpart perches on the right. Curled high-relief waves and cloud motifs swirl around the lower half. A small, round fruit sits atop the upper edge. The stone transitions from cream to charcoal, highlighting the intricately sculpted figures and organic, swirling designs.
