Description:
A Ruyi with three inlays and a stand made of sandalwood. The head, stem, and tip are each inlaid with a round white jade. The head jade is embossed with a picture: the immortal of longevity riding an immortal crane and holding a flat peach to make birthday wish to the people standing on the bower. The jade on the stem is embossed with another picture: a pine tree and a man by the name Dunfangsho stealing a peach, to symbolize a birthday wish. Legendarily, Dunfangsho has lived a long life because he has stolen and eaten the Goddess's flat peach. The jade on the tip is embossed with another picture: a combination of pomegranate and lingzhi. The inlay-stands are decorated with silver-gilt dragon pattern. The stem has silver inscriptions of the characters "hundred years to live." The back is not decorated, but glued a piece of yellow silk with writing that says, "The imperial son Taihe kneeled to enter and present." The tip is attached with a pair of yellow tassels and a long decorative knot.
