The deity dressed in long, loosely draped robes, her right hand holding a document crossed over her lap, her hair elaborately tied, emerging from under her hood, the figure shown seated in lilasana on a blanket draped over the back of the creamy yellow-colored, fanged xiezhai, its head turned as to look at the kneeling attendant by his hind leg. Height 10.5 cm. Length 9.5 cm.

Natural inclusions and feathering to the stone.
