This flat, rectangular plaque features a stylized two-eyed face with a pair of fangs, framed by symmetrical cloud-like cusps. The jade is a pale green color with areas of whitening. The craftsmanship is remarkable, as the entire relic has been intricately constructed to be uniformly thin. This type of decoration, characterized by a toothed animal face, represents a distinctive category within Hongshan Culture. The cloud motifs are believed to be associated with rain-praying rituals.
The plaque is adorned with a horizontal line pattern that runs throughout the body. The facial features on both the front and back are crafted using small perforations for the eyes, slits for the eyebrows, and vertical slits representing toothed fangs. These elements, formed through slits and perforated holes, create an openwork mask design. Seven long vertical slits, more than typically found on similar artifacts, separate the pairs of tooth-like fangs. Horizontal and curving slits further define the eyebrows and the spaces between the cloud curls. Comparable examples have been excavated n the No. 27 tomb from No. 1 stone mound at the No. 2 location of Niuheliang site.
