The ovoid-form vase is cast as a recumbent Buddhist lion supporting a vase on its back with a pair of dragon head handles bearing loose rings on each side. Another pair of ring handles on the shoulders, connected with jade rings surmounted by a small bat, form loop terminals of a chime-form plaque. The exterior or the vase is embellished with coral, turquoise and hardstones. Inlaid to the front is a jade plaque carved in high relief with cat and butterfly, and at the back a ‘twin badger’ group. The cover is surmounted with white jade finial in the form of a ram holding a lingzhi spray attached to a linked chain that passes through the mouth of a bat set to the middle chime plaque. The suspension support is resting in a silver-embellished hole holding a tall cylindrical support topped by a metal arm cast as a dragon head. All of the above is secured on a tiered base with a band of lotus petals.
