The screen is finely carved and vibrantly decorated on one side with a continuous scene centered by prunus, magnolia and pine trees growing around a large blue rock, to one side of this grouping are two spotted deer shown recumbent below the prunus tree, and a pheasant below a pair of long-tailed parrots in flight, all amidst further blue rocks, flowering peony and roses, while to the other side a qilin is seen galloping on top of froth-tipped waves, its head turned back to glance at a pagoda borne on the vapor emitted from the mouth of a mythical turtle-form beast. The scene is framed by the 'hundred antiques' interspersed with floral arrangements, between decorative borders. The reverse is decorated with two rows of fan paintings alternating with square panels enclosing poems and landscape scenes. The poems are depicted in various calligraphic scripts in the manner of famous Ming-dynasty scholars and artists, all framed by further 'precious objects'.
