A cast bronze figure of a reclining infant, a traditional Chinese motif representing good fortune. The boy is depicted in a relaxed pose with a serene expression and a tufted hairstyle. He wears a simple dudou or bib adorned with several circular medallions containing stylized characters. The figure rests upon a large, stylized lotus leaf which forms the base, with the underside naturalistically rendered showing prominent leaf veins and fine casting detail. The piece exhibits a varied patina, ranging from a deep chocolate brown to a lighter golden-bronze where the surface has been handled.
