Carved and incised tan hardstone with brown bands. The figure is likely a bi xie seated in a twisted manner, with the head turned to face proper right and both hind legs raised, tiled to face proper left; with the right hind leg connected to the side of the bi xie's head. The bi xie has detailed carved facial features, including protruding eyes with a wide brow, and a lump carved in relief between the two eyebrows. The two ears are carved and prominent, the proper right ear connected to the right hind leg. Along the back are rows of incised lines extending down the back of the bi xie's neck to denote the mane, which then splits into three flares. The front paws have carved details that define the claws individually. Along the main body of the figure is a line of ridges carved in high relief. The claws on both hind legs are carved in low relief. The tail of the bi xie is flared and features open work, extending from the main body of the figure. The underside of the figure bears a penis carved in low relief, ridges denoting the twisted main body, and some incisions to denote fur.

Four page letter from Mary Prouse Gell to Aunt Ann, from Church of England Mission, Peking, North China, letter dated 24th January 1925. Mary Gell writes how the letters have been trickling through. Some letters had gone to Shanghai which had been cut of from the rest of China for the last few weeks. The railways disorganised, carriages are being used by the soldiers as barracks, mainly the nice comfortably ones which have been spoilt. There is some anti-Christian feeling in the papers. Gell writes how she is sorry to hear about Tom, who isn't very well. There has been a change in atmospheres, Saint Faith's is a big mission. The cathedral is opposite and it built of brick and wood, in a much more common Chinese fashion. She is still at the language school, were the teachers change every half term and all the teaching is done in Chinese.
