The second leg with slot is 3.875 inches tall and 2 inches wide at the foot and 1.125 inches diameter at the top. Each support bears remnant wood inserts still present inside the top portion indicating these had original wooden inserts and were likely used to support a human figure or perhaps supported an important tomb display base.

There is ample evidence of original and ancient calcification, polishing and surface encrustation.
Jades were handmade, engraved using metal tools and then hand polished. This type of polished jade item was created for special patrons.
We have seen this type of dark Chinese green, blackish jade on ancient jade bi from the ancient Qi-jia culture.
