The doe's head protrudes upwards from the right side, featuring a long neck and head with two small ears visible on top. Two front legs extend upwards from the head. A wide, shallow depression, likely a bowl or container, occupies the space inside the body. The background of the image is grey. Mat Weight in the Shape of a Doe, by Chinese, Western Zhou dynasty.
