This mantis is made of fine Xinjiang Hetian white jade. It has round eyes that are slightly convex, and its face is brown and has a weathering pattern. Its wings are decorated with double intaglio lines with hooked cloud patterns. Its forearms are folded in front of its chest in a praying position, with intaglio decorations and a hole for wearing. Its abdominal segments are carved with thick intaglio lines with an oblique knife.
The jade mantis has a seven-character inscription on its back, which is very noble. Its shape combines abstraction with realism, and its carving is fine and detailed. It is a representative insect sculpture.
