The exterior is densely covered with a wide band of repoussé designs of multiple scenes depicting various Buddhist allegories. The neck is delicately decorated with a band of lotus blooms borne on undulating scrolls, and the foot with tumultuous waves. The base is incised with a visvavajra and is surrounded by the inscription, Da Ming Wanli renwu nian yuyongjian zao yinzhong yibai ershiwu liang liu qian’ ([It is] made in the cyclical renwu year by the Directorate for Palace Accoutrements.
