A crane curves around the lower part of the carving, beside a tortoise form and a broad patch of brown outer skin. The close-up reveals feather lines and small details carved into the pale jade. The darker skin occupies much of the upper surface, giving this 310.6 g work a strong contrast between its outer colour and the white body.
