the pale celadon stone worked in the form of an immortal flanked by a pair of wings, the figure rendered dressed in loose robes with his elbows gently bent, the hands and top of the head pierced through with a small aperture

Small sections of the figure have possibly been polished to conceal an earlier nick, the most significant to the left wing. The figure has also been drilled for suspension but is otherwise in overall good condition.
