The piece is meticulously carved from a beautifully aged stone, possibly a form of serpentine or a similar hardstone, revealing a rich, ochre-brown patina that highlights its age and historical value. Its form, featuring an elongated finial atop a classic circular disc, is both graceful and commanding, designed to be appreciated as a stand-alone art object.

Below, mythical dragons and swirling, cloud-like motifs are intricately carved, capturing the power and grace of these revered creatures in Chinese mythology. The openwork design allows light to pass through, highlighting the meticulous detail and craftsmanship.
