Mandarin duck
The sculpture depicts two ducks with their heads turned in opposite directions, the duck on the left looking left, the duck on the right looking right. The ducks are carved from a single piece of dark gray stone. They are positioned with their bodies curved around each other and their heads protruding from the top. The ducks have detailed feathers carved into their bodies and wings. The duck on the left has its wings folded against its body, while the duck on the right has one wing tucked under its body and the other wing extended behind it. The background is a light gray surface with a slightly textured appearance.
