The beast is modelled with well-defined facial features, with its four legs neatly tucked under the body and its bifurcated tail detailed with an archaistic pattern. The body of the vase is decorated with a band of stylised pendant leaves. The stone is of a pale tone with very minor areas of russet inclusions.
