A Ruyi with three inlays. The body is made of elm wood. The surface has two decorative patterns, the green-feathered pattern and filigree-made ancient coin pattern to form a background decoration.

The side is decorated with red bats and cloud-pattern in wucai painting. The stem's center bulges and is inlaid with an elliptical white jade, which is decorated with a peony plant whose flowers are made of red gems and leaves made of green jade slabs. On the upper curve of the stem, a lotus is inlaid on the front and a "Tai-chi circle" inlaid on the back. The tip is inlaid with a white jade, which is decorated with peaches made of pink jade.
