Description:

The cloud-styled head is embossed with an immortal who is standing on a cloud. The stem slightly bulges in the middle and becomes wider and pointed towards the tip. The upper part of the stem is embossed with a pair of hornless dragons holding the character shou, which means long-life. The lower part is decorated with embossed drifting cloud. Rims on the stem are carved with the fretted pattern. The back is embossed with a pattern of bats alternating with the character shou, and the pattern ends with a pair of shou at the tip end. The tip is attached with a pair of brown-green tassels, a decorative knot, and two coral beads.
