This three-dimensional, round sculpture piece is made from smooth jade with some brown spots. The piece consists of a young boy standing, his hair in a braided bun; the boy has a wide nose and big mouth, which is opened in a pleasant smile. He wears a wide robe with a cross collared and wide pants. Both his arms are placed before his waist, and he holds a lotus shoot in his hands; the lotus shoot points upwards behind his back and the large lotus leaf droops downwards. The boy is quite fleshy and plump in a lifelike impression. The piece has a borehole in the back so a string may be strung through and worn. It is a fine specimen that exemplifies the boy-holding-lotus design inherited from the Song Dynasty.
