Locally, the tawny skin color is cleverly utilized for 'qiaose' (skillful use of natural color variation in stone carving). The entire piece fully employs techniques such as round carving and intaglio carving to depict a treasure duck holding an ear of grain. The treasure duck's form is quite ancient and distinct from common statues, presented in a reclining posture, with its beak holding an ear of grain, and branches and leaves twisting over its back, intertwined with each other. The branches and leaves are spread out, and the carving is clear. The duck's wings are closed, engraved with cloud patterns. The overall form is plump and full, with a realistic and vivid appearance, smooth and unrestrained lines, meticulous and precise carving, clear edges, and ornamentation that adds a soft and luxurious feel to its delicate charm, symbolizing good fortune. Comes with a base.
