A Chinese (?) soapstone carving of a seated figure of Tung Fang-So with staff and deer. The figure is facing forward with his right hand holding a staff which is leaning against the right shoulder while the left hand is resting on top of the deer's head. The sculpture is made of a light brown beige soapstone with a red vein running through. The base is probably of the same material, showing a rock design and jagged irregular edges. Small holes have been punctuated across the surface of the base.
