carved with its head elegantly turned back, grasping a spray of linghzi in its beak, its body slumped slightly to one side, its wings picked out with stylized feathers and archaistic kui dragons, its slender neck accessorized with a floral choker, the underside revealing its webbed feet naturalistically carved in low relief, the smoothly polished stone of an even creamy-white colour with subtle russet inclusions, carved wood stand in the form of swirling waves
