A fragmented dark gray stone sculpture depicts two relief figures on adjacent sides of a corner block. Each Eleven-Headed Guanyin stands on a lotus pedestal under a pointed arch. The figure on our left has their right hand raised and left hand holding a bottle. The figure on our right raises their left hand holding a flower while holding a bottle in their right. Vertical Chinese inscriptions are carved along the central corner.
