The head of this light gray jade, partly altered to opaque white, is marked by a slight contraction below the straight bar. Two raised lines traverse the narrowest part of the head. Set off from the top and joining with the body by simple incised lines, the head sits on a flat, gently tapering body with sharp corners. The lower end is perforated and beveled on one side.
