Description:
A Ruyi with three inlays. The Ruyi's body is formed by gold-gilt filigrees that imitate the shape of ancient coins. Ancient coin has a hole in the middle, and is a common decorative motif to represent the eyes. The heart-shaped head, the stem, and the tip are elliptical green jade inlaid onto the body. The jades sit on an inlay-stand and are each embossed with a pattern of an elephant holding a vase on its back. The combination of elephant and the ancient coins thus symbolizes an auspicious omen of "peace in sight." The stem bulges in the middle, and its upper part is decorated with an enameled picture of the eight immortals. Rims on the inlay-stands and the stem are covered with gold beads decorated with enameled bats in green, purple, or blue. The back is blank. The tip is attached with a pair of light-yellow tassels.
