Description:
A pair of Ruyi with two inlays. The cloud-styled heads are each engraved with a pair of characters, Jiazi, and Yuecho, which tell two different times. The characters are painted in red and framed in blue. Above the characters is decorated with a chased pattern of a kind of traditional bell, Qing, to symbolize celebrations. Below the characters is carved with a pattern of a bat with two fish on the sides to symbolize "abundant fortune." On the stem, the upper part is carved with a wishful phrase in kai-shu (chancery style), Wannanruyi, or "endless wishes." The inlay in the middle is embossed with a bat, peaches, and the ancient coins to represent felicity and longevity to come.
