The thick eyebrows are elaborately carved with the end curling up to generate an effect of beauty. This kind of thick eyebrows is often seen in the Han Dynasty jade eagles. On the neck, there is a V shape structure which may be an emblem of a particular state in the Warring States period. On the breast, there are two young dragons facing each other. Between the wing and the breast, there is a square cloud motif. The wings are carved delicately with deeply incised lines. Antiquity evidence is calcification and dissolved pits.
