青白玉質，立體圓雕臥獸。雙目炯炯，張嘴露齒，頭頂有雙角。前肢有鱗、雙翼，翼自前肢上部而後，緊貼於身。
此器造型壯碩渾厚，刀工犀利，工匠運刀如筆，線條流暢，為六朝少見之珍品。北京故宮博物院藏類似魏晉辟邪，見《故宮博物院藏文物珍品大系．玉器（上）》，上海，2008年，圖版165。
圓雕辟邪，雕刻嫻熟，造型活潑，臉部表情生動，爪子充滿動力，栩栩如生。卷曲的眉毛，蹲伏的姿態，如孩童般蓄勢待發，準備玩耍。如此肖生玉雕，或為摩挲把玩，或為置案清賞，涵天地之氣、蘊萬物之道。可作比較一例，為清宮舊藏，同為六朝作，見《中國玉器全集》，卷4，石家莊，1993年，圖版306。另一例為賽克勒藏，有翼，曾展於東方陶瓷學會，《Chinese Jade Throughout the Ages》，維多利亞與艾伯特博物館，倫敦，1975年，編號182。
六朝玉雕風格延續至後朝，見一宋黃玉例，為北山堂藏，曾展於《中國玉雕》，香港藝術館，香港，1983年，編號147。Philip Pinsof伉儷藏一明朝例，曾展於東方陶瓷學會，《Chinese Jade Throughout the Ages》，前述出處，倫敦，1975年，編號376。
六朝陵墓裝飾中瑞獸是不可或缺的重要元素，帝皇權貴，制度各異。南京孝陵設置了壯觀的瑞獸群，彰顯著帝王的功德。
