The two pieces imitate live gourds. The gourd can be separated in the waist. The tip at the top is decorated with three slabs of leaf and rattan. The gourd is formed by a chased-work imitating tree branches and rattan, flowers, and gourds. The gourd and the chased design symbolize endless posterity. The red sandalwood stand shares the same design and symbolization.
