Pale green stone carving, rectangular with rounded corners. A border surrounds intricate cutout design. Two symmetrical insects with curved bodies and long antennae are positioned on either side of center. The insects appear to be emerging from a circle with curved lines. Swirling lines and curved shapes extend from the insects and circles throughout the carving. Two circular areas contain Asian characters. The background behind the carving is black, transitioning to gray below. The carving is titled "Buckle" and is by an unidentified artist.
