The rather pointed head and beaked mouth face to the right. There is a knobbly spine and good muscle definition. The jade is of off-white/yellowish colour with brown flecks, the base of the animal being natural black colour. A bat with wings outspread is at rest against the animal's body stretching between its left side front leg almost to its back leg.
