The generous spinach-green jade each carved in shape of a caparisoned resting figure of seated elephant, with carved white jade tusks, its hump covered with gilt bronze cloisonne blanket carrying dome covered incense burner.
The elephant spinach-green jade adorned with carnelian beads inlaid surmounted on the elaborate ornate jewelry in the headdress and howda.
The blanket and incense burner cloisonne decorated in colorful auspicious emblem motifs, with extensive trace of gilt.

The elephant is sometimes shown carrying a "treasure" vase (bao ping) on its back. Since the word "vase" (ping) has the same pronunciation as the word for "peace" (Ping'an), the implied meaning is "may you have 'good luck' (elephant) and 'peace' (vase)".

Elegantly presented upon semi-octagonal cloisonne pedestal stands, with upper cushion covered by pale-yellow silk.
The spinach-green jade shows dark-green color, with sporadic grayish hue strike lines of natural inclusions.
