This exquisite artifact is crafted from light green jade, its surface exhibiting the intricate transformation caused by the infusion of minerals and other elements over time. Due to the indistinct detailing, identifying the exact species of bird it represents is challenging. The sculpture features a small head, large yet short legs, a short bill, medium-sized wings, and a compact body—characteristics that suggest it may depict a pigeon. Similar examples of jade bird sculptures have been discovered within Hongshan Culture, further highlighting its potential significance.
