The sculpture depicts a tall and elegant crane poised and holding a lotus flower in its beak. It is perched upon the back of a dragon turtle, legendary to Chinese folklore.

The statue was imported in the 1980s and since has been a focal point of an outdoor garden towering over a koi pond. The bronze has naturally oxidized over time.
