Black jade with grey veining and three holes bored through it. This smoothly polished blade has a straight upper horizontal edge and a long cutting edge that is gracefully curved and bevelled on both sides. The two short sides, rounded at the edges, slope outwards slightly. The holes along the upper edge, were drilled from one side (the two bigger holes at the ends and the smaller one in the middle were drilled from different sides)
