A pale green and cream jade sculpture, marked by brown weathering, depicts a dragon forming a circular ring. The body loops with the head overlapping the tail at the top. Facing left, the head features an open mouth, pointed nose, and small ears. Parallel spiral grooves wrap the entire surface, accentuating the creature's curved form. Faint brown patches mark the lower and left portions of the stone.
